On a S-facing slope overlooking marshy land. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 51m, E-W 48m) defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is present from E to S, and a scarp forms the enclosing element from NE to E and from SW toWNW; no visible surface trace survives elsewhere. A gap at E could be original. A field fence has been built on the line of the outer bank from NW to E. There is a souterrain (GA029-001001-) within the interior.

Within N Half of a ringfort (GA029-001----). Well-preserved drystone-built souterrain consisting of three chambers connected by two creeps; known locally as 'Gurranes cave' (Costello 1903, 1). Present access via a displaced roof lintel into a short passage (L 2.1m) at SE end of 1st chamber (L 6.5) which runs NW-SE. A creep at NW end leads to 2nd chamber (L 11.5m) running NE-SW. Another creep at SW end of this chamber leads to 3rd chamber (L. 6.3m) running NNE-SSW. Costello (ibid., 2) noted the existence of two air vents at S end of 3rd chamber, only one of which survives.

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.
