On the highest point of a ridge in pasture. A circular, dome-shaped mound of earth and stone (diam. at base c. 8m; H 1.8-2m). There is no trace of an encircling bank or fosse. From NE-S-SSW it is skirted by a low field bank and ditch. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LF020-003: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF020-003----. On the E slope of a ridge in pasture. A raised D-shaped area (c. 49m NW–SE; c. 32m NE–SW), with a straight SW side, enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4-4.5m; H 0.2-0.4m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 3.5-4m; D 0.1-0.2m).

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.
