Wedge-tomb described by the Megalithic Survey of Ireland as follows; 'This monument lies about 3 km to the north of Adare, in the broad basin of the River Maigue. It stands on rich, gently undulating grassland broken in places by limestone outcrops. The outlook from the site is rather restricted though part of the Slievebernagh Mountains are visible towards the north-east and the north Kerry hills appear to the south-west. The monument is in a ruinous condition and is heavily overgrown. The southern side of a chamber is represented by two orthostats and, outside the western stone, is another orthostat representing an outer-wall. The opposite side of the chamber is represented by a fallen sidestone. A roofstone lies in a tilted position above the chamber. Two displaced stones stand at its eastern end. There are no traces of a surrounding mound. The western sidestone, at the south, leans outwards. It is 1.9m long, 0.3m thick and 0.9m high. The second sidestone here is erect. It measures 1.6m long, 0.35m thick and 1.05m high. The tops of both stones slope downwards from west to east. The fallen sidestone at the north is 1.8m long and 0.4m thick. If erect it would be about 0.7m high. The single outer-wall stone is erect. It is 0.9m long, 0.45m thick and 1.1m high. The roofstone measures 2.1m by 1.9m and is 0.5m thick. It rests on the two sidestones at the south and the fallen sidestone at the north. One of the two displaced stones at the eastern end of the roofstone is largely concealed. It measures at least 0.8m by 0.7m and is 0.3m thick. The second stone leans heavily to the west. It is 1.7m by 1m and 0.25m thick. The stones are all coarse, weathered, limestone slabs'.

In pasture, on break in NW-facing slope. Circular area (30.6m N-S; 31.2m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.5m), which is best preserved N->S but lowers becoming scarp-like along NW and SW arcs. Interior, which slopes down to W, is under pasture.

Situated in rough grassland immediately E of Clorane House. Outline of large roughly square-shaped enclosure (approx. dims. 120m N-S x 150m E-W) visible on Google Earth photographs taken 05/02/2009. The irregularity or imprecise nature of the defining feature casts some doubt about the antiquity of this feature although the cultivation ridges contained within this enclosure appear to respect the enclosing element.

A pair of trapezoidal enclosures/fields, one of which is more clearly visible on the current Google imagery (52.596244, -8.793153). This latter enclosure does appear to correspond to a smaller trapezoid marked on all three OS map editions.

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.
