Marked 'St. Columbkille's Stones' on the OS 6-inch maps, this site is traditionally believed by some to be the location of the birth of Columcille.* The site consists of a mound (DG044-021001-), almost oval in plan, 8m N-S and 5m E--W, .5m high. On the N half of the mound is a U-shaped setting of stones open to the N and 4m N-S by 2.5m E-W. Abutting the SE edge of the stone setting is a subcircular slab (DG044-021002-) 2m x 1.7m x .12m. The upper surface of the stone has a number of cupmarks c. 0.1m in diameter. Kinahan (1889, 284) suggested that the cupmarked stone may have been a cover for the U-shaped setting. The site is located on the crest of an E-W ridge with good views to N and S. A modern cross has been erected nearby. *But see Churchtown (DG044-017001-).

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.
