What is recorded here

Located at the crest of the S-facing slope down to the valley of the W-E Broad Meadow River. Archaeological testing and monitoring (02E0266) exposed what might be a kiln which was visible as a small hollow (dims 0.74m x 0.55m) filled with layers of burnt clay with charcoal in a spread (dims 1.8m x 1.5m; T 0.15m) of re-deposited subsoil (excavations.ie 2002:1415). Unfortunately, it was destroyed before a licence to excavate (02E0529) could be effected (excavations.ie 2002:1415). (Frazer 2002) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 21 December 2021

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.
