That ambiguity is precisely what makes this entry worth pausing over. A hachured feature, the cartographic convention used on Ordnance Survey maps to indicate a depression or excavation in the ground, appeared on the 1944 to 1945 revision of the OS 6-inch map. When the site was inspected in 1982, no surface trace remained. The most likely explanation is straightforward: the pit or quarry was filled in during the construction of the housing estate that now occupies the area.

The feature, whatever it was, dates to after 1700, placing it firmly in the post-medieval period. Small quarries of this era were common across rural and semi-rural Ireland, typically dug to extract stone, gravel, or limestone for local building and road repair, and often abandoned once the immediate need had passed. Because this one falls outside the pre-1700 threshold used to define archaeological significance for certain survey purposes, it occupies an odd administrative no-man's-land, too recent to be formally classified as archaeology, yet old enough to have vanished entirely from the visible landscape. What the 1944 map recorded, and what the 1982 inspection could not find, exists now only as a mark on paper.
