The National Monuments Service's description
Topsoil-stripping in connection with the Bord Gáis Éireann Pipeline to the West (BGE 3/37/10) revealed a culvert and associated road. The road was excavated in 2002 (Licence no. 02E0940). It was orientated NW-SE and the exposed section measured 16m x 4.7m. No dating evidence is available but the road is likely to be post AD 1700 in date.
