The National Monuments Service's description
At the SW end of a low esker ridge. A hachured feature marked on the 1946 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection to be a large irregular depression: a disused gravel quarry. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.
