The National Monuments Service's description
On the E-facing slope of a low rise in pastureland. A hachured feature marked on the 1932 edition of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1983 to be two overgrown disused gravel pits. As they are of post-AD 1700 date they do not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.
