What is recorded here

Located on a hill, in a field adjoining a gravel pit. NMI Topographical Files record that a stone built passage (L 1.8-2.1m; Wth 0.4m; H 0.3m) was uncovered in the hill during land reclamation works. The passage was roofed with flags, and opened at the NE end into a chamber, the walls of which survived but not the roof. The base of the passage was filled with a thin layer of 'something like yellow ash' underlying a thin layer of very dark soil. It is though that the structure may have been a kiln. Its exact location was not recorded. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 June 2020

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

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
