In pasture, on a broad terrace, bordered by a steeply rising slope on the E side and by a fall of ground to W. The enclosure is sited on a low rise close to the W edge of the terrace, overlooking a flat expanse of damp ground. This enclosure is not indicated on the OS 6-inch maps. It has been partly levelled and the remains are very low profile at ground level. It is evident as a roughly circular area (26.5m E−W; c. 26m N−S) defined on the S half by a low scarp (H 0.3m at E, 0.6m at S), which retains a slight internal lip in parts, with a broader rise (Wth 3.5; int. H 0.45m) at W. The outline of the N arc is barely discernible. The interior is level, and does not appear significantly raised above exterior ground level. A post and wire fence extends across the centre of the enclosure on an E−W axis. A field boundary abuts the enclosure at N and a low undulation, possibly the remnants of a field boundary, extends to E from the SW edge of the enclosure.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

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.
