In pastureland. This large subrectangular enclosure (c. 228m ENE-WSW; c. 173m NNW-SSE) is defined by two substantial earthen banks and a wide intervening fosse. An early medieval church (GA095-016----) is roughly centrally located within its interior. A NE-SW running road, on the N side of the townland boundary, cuts across it from W to NE, and a NW-SE running driveway to a new house off this road cuts across it at NE. The inner bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.8m) is clearly visible from NE to S to W; from W to NE only faint traces are visible at ground level. The fosse (Wth 3m) and outer bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 0.2m) survive from NE to S to W. Within the SW quadrant of the interior an E-W running bank (Wth 2.5m; H 1m) may be an internal division. Redington (1912, 176-9) suggested that there may have been an earlier church here, indicating that this may be the remains of an early ecclesiastical enclosure.

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.
