What is recorded here

In NE quadrant of gently undulating, improved yet poorly drained pasture. Reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as the low remains of an enclosure. A large, extant fulacht fia (dims. 35m ENE-WSW; max. 38m NNW-SSE) located upon a natural ridge of higher ground (long-axis E-W). Grass covered horseshoe-shaped mound of burnt material; open (Wth 10m) to SE. Relatively recent drainage activity along field boundaries to N and E. No potential feature evident upon historic mapping and barely visible upon modern aerial images (OSi 2010, Bing 2015). Well depicted c. 20m to N on all OS map editions and a pump house is in this vicinity. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 10 September 2015
