This site is located east of Knappogue Castle in a large field used for pasture immediately beside the Sixmilebridge-Ennis road. The surface of the field in which the site is located is uneven with long curvilinear natural banks of earth distributed throughout. The site is depicted as a hachured plan on the OS 6-inch-sheets. The site which overlooks the gently sloping ground to the south consists of a broad ditchless bank defining a roughly level subcircular area 29m in diameter. The bank stands up to 0.5m above the interior of the site and measures on average 8.7m wide. A farm gate is located just south of the enclosure leading onto the road. The remains of a byre and some other small structures are built on the bank at the south. No features were discernible on the interior of the site and there were no indications of an original entrance. Compiled by Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 14/03/2012

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

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.
