In undulating farmland, 300m WSW of Hampstead House. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular tree-filled enclosure (D c. 40m) and on 3rd ed. (1933) as a U-shaped formation of deciduous trees. What survives is a large striking steep-sided mound (H c. 3m), composed of grassed-over limestone blocks and rubble, which appears to have been quarried into at W. Traces of a surrounding bank are visible from W to N. Possibly a landscape feature but its morphology is also similar to that of a barrow.

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.
