Now in grassland but originally on the landscaped demesne of the mid-18th century house Mount Shannon located 500m to N. The earthwork is depicted as a non-antiquity on the 1840 OS 6-inch map where the outline of a semi-circular area planted with trees is indicated by a solid line in the same fashion as the surrounding field boundaries. A similar semi-circular shaped tree plantation is depicted on this map 70m to N. The 1897 OS 25-inch map depicts a semi-circular shaped area (approx. dims. 130m NW-SE x 50m E-W) planted with trees and delimited by a field boundary from N through E to S. Earthwork visible today on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018 where it survives as a field boundary from E through to S and has been removed from N to E. Probably the remains of a designed landscape feature associated with the landscaping of the Mount Shannon Demesne.

Described by Bence-Jones (1978, 2160 as 'a 2 story C18 house ... remodelled in neo-Classical style post 1813 ... now a ruin.' The house was placed in the Register of Historic Monuments in 1976.

In low‐lying and poorly drained, rough pasture, with an existing Iarnrod Eireann line to E and house plots to the W, c. 1.5km to SE of the River Shannon. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified by Tracy Collins in 2006 during test trenching (Ministerial Direction Order A026/181, NRA Reg. E2334) prior to the construction of the Southern Limerick Ring-Road and excavated in the same year by Áine Richardson as part of Mountshannon 1 (Richardson 2008, 2). This feature consisted of a roughly circular-shaped spread (L 1.02m; Wth 0.98m; D 0.09m) of oxidised clay which was located in the N corner of the site (ibid, 4). The fill was a mid‐pinkish‐red silty clay which contained occasional small sub‐rounded stone inclusions (ibid, 4). This appears to have been an isolated area of in situ burning with no evidence of associated charcoal or ash rich deposits. No other areas of archaeological potential were found in association with this feature. See attached location plan from excavation report.
