The National Monuments Service's description
In 2001, archaeological testing (Licence no. 01E0156: www.excavations.ie) in advance of the construction of four houses exposed a natural hollow containing two field ditches, one apparently of medieval date. Modern field consolidation had filled the hollow to the level of the present ground surface, and covered the features in a layer of topsoil. The first ditch was 1.4m wide and c. 0.5m deep, and was filled with a friable loam containing a single sherd of late medieval pottery, the second ditch shared its orientation with post-medieval furrows.
