A report in 1976 (SMR file) noted that this raised circular area (diam. 24.9m) was enclosed by a bank of earth and stone. It is defined by a scarp (H 0.2-1.1m). A modern NE–SW field boundary skirts the embankment from W–WNW–NW. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior rises from the perimeter towards the centre. According to local information, the monument was used as a graveyard (LF018-058002-). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 7 June 2013

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.
