On a slight rise in pastureland, overlooking the River Suck to the N. On the 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map (1930) the term 'Caltra' is depicted within a large roughly subrectangular unenclosed area (c. 80m by c. 75m), which is delimited by a broken line. The name may be derived from the Irish 'Cealtrach' meaning an old burial ground (Joyce 1923, 98). There is no visible evidence of burial. According to local tradition, a sword was found here.

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.
