In level grassland within the former Blindwell Demesne. All that survives are the remains of an E-facing pointed arch gateway (Wth 1.8m) with two hanging eyes: possibly the entrance to the bawn. This is flanked on S by a section of contemporary wall (L c. 2m) within which are a number of gun loops. Traces of a barrel vault are visible towards the top of this wall. This is matched by a corresponding bulge in the pebble-dashed wall of the modern stables which flank the gateway to N. These remains suggest that the gateway formed part of a vaulted two-storey structure; possibly a small gate-tower. Incorporated into the adjoining field walls are numerous cut-stone fragments, including the top of a decorated ogee-headed window.

In grassland within Blindwell Demesne. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a D-shaped tree-planted enclosure. What is visible is a poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (E-W 29m) defined by a low round-topped curving earthen bank (Wth 2.8m, H 0.35m) and an external fosse (Wth 1.8m).

Views are good over an extensive sweep of undulating grassland. A hillfort (GA015-016----) crowns a ridge on the far horizon to NE. A slightly raised circular area (26.7m N−S; c. 25m E−W) defined on its perimeter on the N half by a broadly slumped slope (H 1.4m; Wth slope 4-5m), and on the S half by a scarp topped with traces of a wall/stone bank (Wth c. 2m). A broad gap or terrace (Wth 4.3m at N, 5.8m at S) separates this central raised area from an outer enclosing bank/wall, evident on the N half as a low sod-covered stony bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.5m) and on the S half as a scarp (ext. H 1m) with a low stony lip (Wth c. 3m) in parts. The diameter of the outer ring is c. 45m. A field wall (the county boundary) crosses the ringfort centrally on an ENE−WSW axis, and another field wall extends to SW from this through the S half. Slight remains of other walls radiate from the inner ring across the terrace to the outer ring on the S half of the ringfort. These internal divisions may be related to relatively recent modification of the site as a rectangular vernacular building -probably a late 19th-century house- is shown abutting the outer NE edge of the ringfort on the 25-inch plan (it is not shown on the 1838 or 1915 OS 6-inch maps). A remnant of this building is incorporated into a present day NE−SW field wall. Relict cultivation ridges are discernible in the field immediately to SE of the ringfort. Long grass and thistles obscured much detail and hampered inspection of the ringfort. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 10 August 2023

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.
