Situated on N foreshore of Drumcliff Bay on level ground, 375m W of the mouth of the Drumcliff River. Indicated on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as 'Old Salt Pans'. At this location is a waterlogged rectangular flat-bottomed depression (6m E-W; 2m N-S; D 0.3m) with vertical sides. A roughly oval irregular depression (6m N-S; 4m E-W; D 0.3m) extends N from the NE corner of the rectangular depression. An E-W orientated channel (L 5m; Wth 0.3-0.6m; D 0.2m) extends from the intersection of the NE corner of the rectangular depression and the oval depression. A second roughly rectangular flat-bottomed depression (1.8m E-W; 0.6m N-S; D 0.3m) with vertical sides, links to the S side of the channel midway along its length. Compiled by: Patrick F.
