Monument described by O'Kelly (1942-3, 233) as following; 'This seems to have been a platform structure. It was nearly square with the corners rounded of. Around it was a fosse. The monument has been partially levelled. It is shown on the early edition of the O.S. but not on the last. The overall dimension is 110' [33.5m]. The platform is now only about 2' [0.6m] high. The large field in which the monument is situate is intersected by ancient fences and in one case by what may be a sunken road-way. The structure is to the north of, and within sight of Caherguillamore House, [LI031-041019-] and may be an outlying part of the complex—village [LI031-041001-], lies to the east and south of that dwelling'.

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.
