In pasture, on an E-facing slope with views N to the Slieve Mish Mountains. A circular area (36m E-W; 34m N-S) defined by two earthen banks with an intervening fosse and an outer fosse. The inner earthen bank (Wth 6.4m; int. H 1.15m; ext. H 2.55m), the intervening fosse (Wth 4.1m) and the outer bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 1.7m; ext. H 1.2m) are evident all round. The outer fosse (Wth 2.4m; D 0.4m) is evident SSE-W. A field boundary truncates the outer fosse and incorporates the outer bank W-NW. There is a causeway entrance (Wth 3.2m) at SSE, a cattle break at NE and a break in the outer bank at E. The interior slopes down to the SE. Coniferous trees grow on the banks and in the intervening fosse. There is a souterrain (KE047-063001-) in the N half of the interior.

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.
