In low-lying, wet pasture, which is cut by land drains and watercourses, 100m SE of a townland boundary with Cullane and 250m W of the Camoge River which also marks a townland boundary with Gortacloon. Annotated ‘Lough Ceann (Site of)’ on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map. Site of possible monument is not visible on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018. The placename ‘Lough Ceann (Site of)’ may suggest the presence of a crannóg on a lake which has since been drained. No visible remains of any crannóg at this location. A crannóg in 'Lough Ceann' is referenced in the medieval text Cogadh Gaedhel re Gallaibh (Todd 1867, 141, clx). This crannóg was one of a small number of sites that are specifically named in the text including the 'island of Loch Cend' which was reputedly built by Brian Boru. The placename 'Inisloughceann' is annotated on 1897 ed.

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.
