A roughly oval enclosure (dims. c. 32m N-S; c. 37m E-W) identified as a cropmark by Faith Bailey on satellite imagery (Google Earth Pro, imagery date 14 July 2018). The cropmark of a field boundary runs E from the SE sector for c. 44m before turning south-eastward. Another field boundary, also visible as a cropmark is visible running S from a slightly larger enclosure (CW013-125----) which is 50m to the NNE.

- CW013-134: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCW013-134----. The Burren River flows roughly NE-SW c. 70m to the SE, in tillage. An unusual triangular-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 47m NW-SE; c. 37m NE-SW) identified as the cropmark of a fosse on satellite imagery (Google Earth satellite imagery, 21 July 2021) by Jean-Charles Caillère. Each side is c. 40m long (N side L c. 38m; W side L c. 47m; E side L c. 39m) and the angles are rounded. The fosse on the E side is less pronounced, it appears to follow the natural line of the edge of the terrain before it falls to the flood plain of the Burren River. There is a possible break (Wth c. 3-4m) in the fosse along the N side, suggesting an entrance.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
