What is recorded here

Earthwork in Grange (smallcounty By.) is a roughly oval-shaped earthwork in improved pasture on a gentle N-facing slope, recorded as a circular-shaped feature in 1840 and still visible in modern orthoimages. It sits north of Grange Hill, northwest of Knockfennell, and within 140m of a ring-barrow, suggesting the slope has long carried more than grass. The shape may be ancient, quarried, or both, but the land still holds the line of a boundary no longer named.

In improved pasture, on a gentle N-facing slope, N of Grange Hill and NW of Knockfennell, 60m NW of the townland boundary with Knockfennell. A ring-barrow (LI023-230----) lies 140m to ENE. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular-shaped earthwork (diam. 46m). Monument identified as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff AP 4/3642). Monument visible as a suboval-shaped earthwork (75m NE-SW; 42m NW-SE) on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018.
