Cropmark of fosse of circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) in interior, slightly off centre to SW, also visible in aerial photograph; Cropmark of levelled field boundary marking off NW quadrant of oval enclosure truncates circular enclosure at NNW. According to Crichad an Chaoilli (Power 1932, 53), 'Cill Fhada (is) the burial ground' of the tuath of 'Magh Finne' and 'it is (Mochaemoc) Mac Congairb that blessed that church'. The 'original circular enclosing fence' was of earth and 'judging from the surviving section of rampart the space enclosed was about four acres in area - a kind of saucer-like depression on an elevated site' (ibid., 100). Four field boundaries, visible as cropmarks in aerial photograph (CASAP), radiate outwards from enclosure.

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.
