The National Monuments Service's description
On the S face of a hummock in undulating pastureland. A hachured feature marked on the 1945-6 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1985 to be a grass-covered pit - probably the result of quarrying. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.
