In rough hill pasture, with occasional outcropping rock, on cutaway bog, on a SW-facing slope and within a network of relict field boundaries (CO104-021003-). This cupmarked stone was described in August 1997 as a large flat-topped natural boulder which has a group of ten possible cupmarks near the centre of its upper surface. A subsequent search for this possible cupmarked stone in January 2005 failed to locate it at this location or in the surrounding area.

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.
