The National Monuments Service's description
Goodbody (1993, 25-32) suggests that the Pale Ditch may have run through Kilgobbin. He indicates that a lane which runs off Kilgobbin road to Kilgobbin cottage was a bank in the early eighteenth century, which followed the line of a Pale ditch which it replaced.
