The National Monuments Service's description
In woodland. A hachured feature marked on the 1947-8 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1984 to be a pit overgrown with trees: probably a disused quarry. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.
