Situated on a slight E-W rise towards the bottom of a S-facing slope in an ESE-WNW valley, with an extensive view out W-NW. It was described in 1974 as the E end of a gallery consisiting of a backstone (dim. 1m N-S) with side-stones at N (dim. 0.9m E-W) and S (dim. 0.4m E-W), There was a second side-stone 1.7m to the W at N and a second side-stone (dim. 0.3m E-W) just to the W at S (SMR file). All the stones were 0.15-0.3m high, but the monument had been removed by 1984. It is not visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture, but some stones c. 30m to the SE at the corner of the field may have come from the monument.

At the crest of the N-facing slope of a low NE-SW ridge. Circular grass-covered platform (diam. of top 36.4m N-S; 35m E-W; diam. of base 50m N-S; 48m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.1-1.4m) with a shallow fosse (Wth of base 2.6-3.6m; D 0.1-0.6m) at its base. There is no identifiable original entrance, and it is bisected by a NW-SE field bank. It is locally regarded as the site of a castle (RO032-033002-), perhaps suggested by the townland name (Gannon 1972). Rath (RO032-034----) is c. 140m to the ESE.

At the crest of a low NE-SW ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 37m E-W; 35m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at S: Wth 4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.4m) and hedge with traces of an external fosse (at S: Wth of top 6m; Wth of base 3.2m; D 0.1-0.2m) E-S (C 24m), and part of a bank at NW. Elsewhere it is defined by a low scarp (H 0.3-0.4m), with traces of a fosse (Wth of top 8m; Wth of base 4.2m; int. D 0.3m; ext. D 0.1m) at N. There is no identifiable original entrance, and a N-S field bank overlies the W edge of the monument. Rath (032-035----) is c. 35m to the S and rath (RO032-033001-) is c. 140m to the WNW.

Marked as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gentle S-facing slope. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 42.4m N-S; 39.8m E-W) defined by an eroded scarp (H 0.2-0.7m) and a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 6.4-7.2m generally to 12.5m at E; Wth of base 2.8-4m; D 0.1m at E to 0.8m at W). There is no identifiable original entrance, but it is bisected by an E-W field wall with a wall running N from it. Rath (032-034----) is c. 35m to the N.

On a gentle E-facing slope in an undulating landscape. Grass-covered subcircular area (dims. 43.6m N-S; 38.7m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (at S: Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1m) ESE-SSW and by a scarp (H 1.1m) ENE-ESE where there is a modern entrance (Wth 8m). Elsewhere the bank has been straightened out in sections and incorporated into field banks (Wth 1.5-2m; H 0.2-1m). There is an entrance (Wth 1.1m) which is probably not original at SSW, but there is no evidence of a fosse. A short bank (L 6m; Wth 2m; H 0.5m) in the N interior may be related to the local tradition of a children's burial ground (RO032-037002-) (Gannon 1972).

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.
