On a rise in undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D 41m) defined by a slightly raised platform. According to local information, it was enclosed by two banks which were levelled some years ago: these are now indicated by lighter bands of vegetation, while a darker band between them probably indicates the line of a fosse. A boreen cuts the rath at ENE and SSE, to E of which a gorse-covered mound is all that survives of the monument. A ringfort (GA031-022----) lies c. 230m to SW.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

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.
