Towards the W lower slopes of a broad gentle ridge in partially improved pasture. Reported as a possible fulacht fia (SMR file). Modern gravel fill appears to overlie the reported location and no visible surface trace of a monument was found upon inspection. Date of visit: 13-11-2024 Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Leo Morahan
- MA070-077: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA070-077----. In pasture at the N end of a low flat–topped ridge. A small overgrown, circular area (int. diam. 22m) is enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (int. H 0.2m; Wth 3.5m; ext. H 0.4-0.6m) from NE to SE to SSW which has been reduced to a scarp (ext. H 0.5–1.6m) elsewhere. A wide band of nettle growth (Wth 4m) from N to NE may indicate the line of a back-filled outer fosse, but its line is not clearly visible elsewhere. Pine trees and elder bushes grow along parts of the perimeter and in the interior which is generally level and featureless. A later field fence shown running roughly E-W immediately to the S of the monument on the OS 25-inch map (1893) has been almost entirely removed, apart from a short section (L c. 5m) to the SSW, and a second boundary shown running N-S immediately to the E of the monument has been removed completely.

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.
