In undulating pastureland. A hachured feature marked on the 1945 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1984 to be an irregular hollow, probably a disused quarry. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.

On a hummock in grassland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure (c. 40m NE-SW; c. 32m NW-SE). On the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1912-16) it is indicated by a line of hachures curving from S to NW. The curing field boundary shown on the 1945 revision of the 6-inch map probably mirrored its outline. No visible surface trace survives.

On a hummock in marshy grassland. When inspected in June 1984 this poorly preserved almost square enclosure (22m NW-SE; 21m NE-SW) was defined by a stony earthen bank along the S, W and N sides and by a scarp along the E side. Numerous trees that had been growing on it had been felled. The current OSi digitalglobe aerial photography (March 2016) indicates that the monument has since been levelled.

Indicated and named 'Gravel Pit (Disused)' on the OS 25-inch plan. On inspection in 1984 it was no longer in use and the area immediately to the E was overgrown with trees. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.

On a hillock in grassland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a subcircular enclosure (c. 26m E-W; c. 23m N-S). It occupied the S end of a roughly rectangular small field and the E and W field walls clipped it from NE to SE and NW to SW respectively. No visible surface trace survives.
