What is recorded here

In pasture, located in a broad low rise or knoll, surrounded by a flat expanse of boggy ground. According to local tradition, there is an 'underground passage' or possible souterrain at this location. It is associated with an earth and stone bank (L 19m E-W; Wth c. 4.5m), known locally as ‘moat’, which may be the remains of an enclosure (MA021-100001-). According to local information, the souterrain was used as a hide-out during the 1798 Rebellion. It is said to have been ‘opened’ or explored in 1910 by a local landowner, James Henry. There is no visible trace at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 December 2019

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
