The National Monuments Service's description
In the S half of a field system (GA056-138----). Numerous small rectangular depressions (3m x 1m) surrounded by low grassy banks are evident over a small area (20m x 10m). They may simply be quarry holes or possibly fulachta fia as this area of the field is wet.
