Earthwork described in 1942-3 as following; 'This consists of a circular platform on the edge of which there is a slight bank. Outside there is a fosse, but this occurs only where it was necessary to cut through little hillocks in the field, so that it appears only on the N.W., N.E. and S.E. sides. The edge and sides of the platform have been broken down in three places. The largest of these breaks is on the N.E. side, and this may have been the entrance. There is no fosse just opposite it. The greatest height of the bank over the field is 6' [1.8m] and the overall diameter is 125' [38m]. Situated in wet lowland' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 239).

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.
