In undulating grassland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS map 6-inch map as a roughly small rectangular field. However, on the OS Fair Plan, though similarly depicted, it is named 'Lissalumma or Ballyhogan'. A poorly preserved roughly kidney-shaped enclosure (26.5m E-W; 25m N-S) is visible. It is defined from NE to S by a bank (Wth 2m; max. int. H 0.75m; max. ext. H 1.3m) and a shallow external fosse (Wth 3.1m; D 0.35m); an overgrown and much-obscured scarp forms the enclosing element from S to NW and there is a modern field boundary from NW to NE. A disused sand/gravel pit lies immediately to the SW and other sand pits are visible to the SE. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 13 February 2019

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.
