In a small, level green area, in Ashdown Student Village, at the S corner of an oil storage depot and bordering an undeveloped greenfield plot to W and NW. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified by Celie O'Rahilly, archaeologist, Limerick Corporation, during the course of field survey in this area. Described by O'Rahilly as at the E end of this open field there is a well-defined curvilinear scarp (approx. H 1.5m) visible from SW-W-NW. The exterior of the scarp is strewn with stone, some quite large, which could be the remains of stone facing or collapse from a masonry structure. The area to the E and S is level with the rest of the field. Not visible today on Google Earth orthophoto taken 02/07/2018.
See attached Google Earth orthoimage 02/07/2018 and location map by O'Rahilly showing location of the possible monument.
