In elevated area of forestry (14m buffer zone), excellent views W-E. Oval area obscured by overgrowth is defined by scarp (Wth 7.8m; H 1.9m) visible NE-SE and covered by vegetation SE-NE. Intermittent stone revetment (H 0.7m) evident SW-NW. Sharp drop on exterior formed by natural rock outcrop N-NNE. Depicted on current edition OS 6-inch map as D-shaped area (dims. c. 38m N to S; c. 20m E-W). According to local information, known as 'Kyle church yard'.

In an elevated area of rough, undulating pasture and 165m NE of a townland boundary with Brackyle. Depicted on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as an oval-shaped earthwork. Described by O’Dwyer (1959, 78) as a low platform (diam. 72ft/22m) defined by a ditch and a low outer bank, with part of the SE side levelled out; an entrance is not recognisable. Possible bivallate ringfort surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a raised oval-shaped area (20m NW-SE; 16m NE-SW) enclosed by a bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The bank (Wth 3.7m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.6m) is present from N-E-SE and is reduced to a scarp (Wth 2m; H 0.75m) from SE-S-W. An intervening fosse (overall Wth 4.5m; basal Wth 0.9m; D 0.5m) is visible from N-E-SSE. The remains of an external bank (Wth 7.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.3m) are visible from N-E-SSE. A curvilinear feature (L 44m; Wth 1.2m; H 0.3m) extends from the outer bank at NE and may be associated with drainage work as fluvial activity is evident on the field surface. Monument is visible as a roughly oval-shaped tree-planted earthwork on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018. See attached a profile of monument drawn by O’Dwyer in 1959, a sketch plan and partial cross-section which was measured and drawn by the ASI in 2008 and a Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.

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.
