Annotated 'Grave Yard' on 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map and depicted as a small quarried out pit on subsequent ed. OS 6-inch maps.

On a moderate S-facing slope, in pasture with excellent views from SE-S-SW, 185m E of a townland boundary with Carrig Beg. Depicted on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 1999 and described as a raised circular-shaped area (26m N-S; 23m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4.3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.25m) from W-N-E-ESE, which is reduced to a scarp (Wth 3.8m; H 0.85m) from ESE-S-W. The interior has a slight S-facing slope and has been raised slightly on the S-side to compensate for the hillslope. An entrance (Wth 2.5m) via a ramp through earthen bank at E seems original.

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.
