Description
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 1 September 2010 Aerial photographs (CUCAP AYL 13-15) show small circular area enclosed by cropmark of fosse, with gap at S (est max. diam. c. 25m). A cropmark of a second feature visible on the APs (CW016-004002-) was the subject of test excavation prior to development, this turned out to be a backfilled quarry pit (McLoughlin C. 2006, 9). Cropmark of trackway running ENE-WSW to S (CW016-104----).

Description
This record was formerly classed as 'enclosure' in the SMR based on its appearance on aerial photographs (CUCAP AYL 13-15). It was subsequently test excavated prior and turned out to be a backfilled quarry pit (McLoughlin C. 2006, 9). Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 1 September 2010

Description
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 1 September 2010 Aerial photographs (CUCAP AYL 13, 14, 15) show cropmark of two parallel fosses, indicating trackway running ENE-WSW (L c. 60m). A section of this was test excavated and exposed it as two parallel ditches seperated by a 5m gap. The excavator suggested that it is probably a laneway which ran to the quarry (CW016-040002-) and dates to the post medieval period (McLoughlin C. 2006, 10)
