What is recorded here

First identified in an unpublished archaeological LiDAR report (Davis, 2015) and unpublished archaeo-geophysical report (Bonsall & Gimson 2015) commissioned by Roscommon County Council as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the N5 Ballaghaderreen - Scramoge road development. It is located on a gentle NE-facing slope. While the LiDAR image shows a small circular feature that might be surrounded by a bank (Davis 2015, 116, No. 45.4) there is no surface indication of an antiquity. The area has also been tested archaeologically (Licence 15E0588) by Aidan O’Connell, who identified two linear features likely to be furrows and an isolated sub-oval pit (dims 1.7m E-W; 1.45m N-S; D 0.13m) (O’Connell, forthcoming).
