The National Monuments Service's description
Located immediately E of what was the Dublin-Knocksedan-Grace Dieu Coach Road, now New Dairy Lane. There are a series of gullies (max. Wth 8m, D 0.8m) running NE-SW across a field under tillage and pasture SE of Rathbeale Hall. The landowner has identified considerable quantities of cut stone exposed during ploughing. There is a local tradition that James II was brought here on his way to the Battle of the Boyne.
