- KD019-035 Ringfort - rath
Description
On level pasture, and now immediately E of the M7 motorway. Described in 1979 as a circular area (int. diam. 35m) enclosed by an overgrown but well-defined earthen bank (int. H 1m; W 6m) and water-filled, outer fosse (Wth 4m), with an entrance gap (Wth 5m) and corresponding causeway (Wth 3m) at SE (SMR file). The site is a Registered Historic Monument and is visible on a 2005 aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD023-002 Church
Description
On the highest point, in the NW sector, of a graveyard (KD023-002001-). Only traces of the foundations of the N and E walls of a rectangular structure are discernable in heavy overgrowth. A small watch house (KD023-002002-) at the E end of the graveyard incorporates some masonry probably taken from the church. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 17 April 2012
- KD023-002001 Graveyard
Description
On a low rise in open, gently undulating pasture. A roughly rectangular area (dims. c. 45m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) is enclosed by a mortared stone wall with an entrance gate at E. The legible grave markers in the heavily overgrown interior date to the 18th and 19th-century. Traces of the foundations of a levelled church (KD023-002----) survive in the NW sector and there is a small, probably 19th-century, watch-house (KD023-002002-) at E.

- KD023-002002 Architectural fragment
Description
At the E edge of an overgrown graveyard (KD023-002001-) which also contains traces of a levelled church (KD023-002----). A small, heavily overgrown, rectangular masonry structure (dims. c. 5.5m NE-SW; c. 3m NW-SE) with a doorway in the NW wall was erected, probably in the 19th-century, as a watch-house to protect burials from interference. It appears to incorporate some of the masonry from the levelled church: a large square granite block at the S corner, and a well-dressed chamfered block reused as a lintel-stone.
