The National Monuments Service's description
First identified in an unpublished archaeological LiDAR report (Davis, 2015) commissioned by Roscommon County Council as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the N5 Ballaghaderreen - Scramoge road development. It is located on a fairly level landscape. A linear feature (L c. 400m) runs sinuously in a NW-SE direction through five fields. It is manifest towards the NW end as a low, grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 8m; H at SW 0.3m; H at NE 0.2m) with a slight fosse or drain (Wth of top 4.15m; ext. D 0.3m) on the NE side. This morphs into a linear hollow (Wth of top 8.2m; Wth of base 3.25m; D 0.3m) as it progresses SE but narrows towards that end.
