This portion of the 'Worm Ditch or Black Pig's Race' as marked on OS 1912 ed. commences at a stream at the base of a high, steep- sided hill in Ardkill More townland. It runs for c. 1,150m approximately NW-SE along the W and S of the hillside. At the base of the hill in Largan townland it changes direction and runs approximately E-W for c. 750m terminating at the E side of a N-S orientated stream in Drumbarry townland. No definite surface remains of the site was identifiable in Ardkill townland N of an active quarry, but the rock-cut ditch (Wth c. 3.5m; D c. 1.3m) has been recorded in the N face of the quarry (Campbell 1997, 3). The ditch is also visible (Wth c. 4m; D c. 1.5m) in the S face of the quarry, while the bank (Wth 5-7m; H at W c. 2m) with a ditch (Wth c. 4m; D c. 1.3m) on the uphill or E side continues S of the quarry (L c. 700m), veering eastwards to the boundary with Largan (ibid. 4). In Largan townland the site is marked by stretches of a much-denuded earthen rampart (max. Wth 7m; max. H 0.9m) with remains of a fosse at its NNE foot. The rampart and fosse are much disturbed by modern field drains. A rath is built against the S face of the rampart in Largan townland (CV031-047----). For the final c. 75m the site is marked by a narrow, modern tarred road.

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.
