- GA095-086: Concentric enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA095-086----. On a rise in undulating pastureland. This well-preserved concentric enclosure (diam. c. 43.3m) is defined by an inner bank and fosse which are separated from the outer bank and fosse by a flat berm (Wth c. 10m). The inner bank and fosse have been quarried out at NE and ESE. The outer bank is visible all round but the outer fosse only survives from S through W to NW. There is a stone-lined causewayed entrance gap (Wth 6m) at S. A field boundary cuts through the outer bank at WNW and SSW. Within the E sector and SW quadrant of the interior are the foundations of three possible house sites (GA095-086001-, GA095-086002- and GA095-086003-). An internal division, defined by a grassed-over bank, is evident in the NE quadrant; all these features were noted by Westropp (1919, 174-5). A souterrain (GA095-086004-) is also associated Athy (1914, 134). (McCaffrey 1952, 136, no. 34; CUCAP AVN, 13) Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 26 February 2018

Within the E sector of the interior of a concentric enclosure (GA095-086----). This is one of three possible house sites (see also GA095-086002- and GA095-086003-) that were initially noted by Westropp (1919, 174-5). This one consists a foundation line (Wth c. 1m; H 0.2m) that is D-shaped in plan (6.6m N-S; 4.8m E-W) and abuts the inner face of the inner bank. An internal grassed-over foundation line (L 35m; Wth c. 2m) extends from it at SW and curves across the interior of the monument towards the NW.

Within the SW quadrant of the interior of a concentric enclosure (GA095-086----). This is the S example of two abutting possible house sites (see also GA095-086003-) that were initially recorded by Westropp (1919, 174-5). It consists of a foundation line (Wth c. 1m; H 0.2m), roughly D-shaped in plan (4m N-S; 4m E-W) that abuts the inner face of the inner bank. Another possible house site (GA095-086001-) lies in the E sector. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 26 February 2018

Within the SW quadrant of the interior of a concentric circle (GA095-086----). This is the N example of two abutting possible house sites initially noted by Westropp (1919, 174-5). It consists of a foundation line (Wth c. 1m; H 0.2m) that is roughly D-shaped in plan (5.5m N-S). Another possible house site (GA095-086001-) is evident in the E sector.

According to Athy (1913-14, 134-5) there is a souterrain in the interior of the concentric enclosure (GA095-086----). The entrance to it was blocked by a heap of stones. No visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 26 February 2018

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.
