The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on the first edition OS 6-inch map. A detailed plan, elevation and photographic record of the north-western boundary of this Deerpark was undertaken in February 2000 by Johnston and Devane (2002, 364-5). 'This is a 285m length of mortared stone wall, revetting a low bank and internal ditch and defining part of the circuit of the 17th-century deer park.' (ibid)
