What is recorded here

In cleared pastureland. No visible surface trace survived of a hachured feature marked on the 1948 revision of the OS 6-inch map when inspected in 1983. Cartographic evidence suggests it was a natural hollow or, more likely, a quarry pit, similar to many in the area.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA132-027
