The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland. A hachured feature marked on the 1944-5 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1984 to be a slight depression. Cartographic evidence suggests it was a sand or gravel pit and it was probably infilled during land-reclamation works in the area. As it was of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.
