What is recorded here

In reclaimed pasture, 140m W of townland boundary with Rathanny. Cropmark of a possible earthwork (LI040-207001-) lies 70m to the N. One of a cluster of 5 possible barrows (LI040-207002-/004-; LI040-209----). Not marked on OSi historic maps. Identified as a circular cropmark by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 93.05; AP 5/2102). Faint trace of monument visible as a circular cropmark (diam. c. 5m) intersected at W by a linear cropmark running roughly N-S on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13. No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimages. Linear cropmarks visible on aerial images, some perpendicular to each other, appear to represent drainage channels of land reclamation works. See attached Bruff survey image showing cropmark labelled Bruff 93.05 and Google Earth orthoimages. Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 29 June 2021
