The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, on a W-facing slope adjoining an enclosure (TS063-035----) to the SW. This feature is not indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map and is clearly indicated on the 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map as a quarry. It is visible as a back-filled semi-circular depression. According to local information this area was quarried for clay to put on the wheat crops. According to OPW files (R/22B/1289/9621, 1971 and 1972) the quarry was backfilled either just prior to or during land reclamation works c. 1971.
