The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pastureland with tracts of bogland to the S. Two hachured features (see also GA046-045001- c. 27m to the SW) marked on the 1932 edition of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1984 to be pits - probably disused sand pits. As they are of post-AD 1700 date they do not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.
