On a slight SE-facing slope at the head of a small NW-SE valley. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 44.2m N-S; 41.8m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4.8-5.8m; int. H 0.5-1.1m; ext. H 1.3-1.8m) separated by a rounded fosse (Wth of top 10-11.2m; Wth of base 3.9-5.6m; D 0.65-1.2m) from an outer earth and stone bank (Wth 3.2-4.2m; H 0.3-0.45m) which only survive E-S-NW. There is no identifiable original entrance (max. ext. diam. 66m E-W), but the fosse has been cut and the outer bank removed by a NW-SE drain and field bank at N.

Just off the crest of the N-facing slope of a rise that forms the SE summit of a broad NW-SE ridge. Circular grass-covered platform (diam. 19.3m N-S; H 0.2-0.3m) defined by a flat-bottomed fosse (at N: Wth of top 10.8m; Wth of base 4.8m; at S: Wth of top 15.6m; Wth of base 9.3m) and an outer flat-topped and grass-covered earthen bank (Wth of base 3.5-5.5m; Wth of top 1.2m; int. H 1-1.2m; ext. H 0.35m at N to 0.95m at S). There is an entrance (Wth 3.5m) in the bank at NE (max. ext. diam. 49.6m N-S). Ring-barrow (RO034-066002-) is c. 25m to the WSW and enclosure (RO034-067001-) is c. 75m to the ESE. (Knox 1918a, 161) See the attached aerial view taken from the SSE.

Marked as a large enclosure (diam. c. 135m) on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and visible as a large subcircular enclosure on aerial photographs (CUCAP: AVH 69-70) where it is overlain by a NW-SE field bank, now removed. It is situated on a gentle SE-facing slope at the SE end of a broad NW-SE ridge. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 108m NW-SE; c. 90m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; H 0.3-0.4m) NW-NE, a scarp (H 0.2-0.3m) NE-S and an earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.9m) S-SW. At the centre are traces of a rectangular enclosure (RO034-067002-) (dims c. 35m NE-SW; c. 30m NE-SW) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.2m). This is connected to the perimeter of the enclosure at N by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; H 0.4m). The barrows (RO034-0660001-; RO034-066002-) are on higher ground c. 75m and c. 130m to the W and the raths (RO034-068----; RO-034-069----) are c. 30m and c. 50m to the SE.

This is connected to the perimeter of the large enclosure at N by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; H 0.4m), all of which are probably the remnants of a field system preserved within the large enclosure.

Rath (RO034-069----) is immediately to the SW, and the large enclosure (RO034-067001-) is c. 30m to the NW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

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.
