On a gentle N-facing slope. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 40.5m N-S; 34.7m E-W) defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank (Wth 3.3m at N to 4.8-5m generally; int. H 0.3-0.6m; ext. H 1.6-1.9m) separated by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 8.8-9.4m; Wth of base 3-3.4m; D 0.4m at E to 0.7m at S to 1.6m at W) NE-S-NW from an outer bank (Wth 2-3m; H 0.1m at S to 0.6m at W) NE-E and S-NW. There is a modernised entrance (Wth 2.1m) at NNE, the lowest point of the interior. Rath (RO035-009001-) is c. 130m to the S. Archaeological testing (09E0275) c. 100m to the NE failed to produce any related material (Carey 2012). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

Towards the W end of the crest of a slight E-W ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 45.6m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at S: Wth 4m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 1.5m) SE-S which is reduced to a scarp (H 1-1.35m) elsewhere. There is a rounded fosse (Wth of top 6.5-7.4m; Wth of base 3m; D 1-1.25m) NE-S-NW, which is circumscribed by a field bank SE-SW. The entrance causeway (Wth 5.2m; H 0.2-0.3m) is at ESE. The W part of the monument is overlain by a NNW-SSE field bank and hedge and in places the site is badly poached. Rath (RO035-014002-) is c. 70m to the E, and a roadway (RO035-140001-) defined by earthen banks on either side extends N from the rath on aerial photograph (CUCAP: AJQ 99) (L c. 200m). A short stretch (L c. 20m) of this survives c. 50m to the N as a carriageway (Wth 3m) defined by a field bank at W and an earthen bank (Wth 0.7m; H 0.3m) at E. See the attached aerial image taken from the N. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

At the crest of a slight E-W ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 44.8m N-S; 43m E-W) defined by a rounded fosse (Wth of top 6.5-8.8m; Wth of base 2.9-4.8m; D 0.65-1.4m) ENE-S-NNW with slight traces of an inner bank (L 7m; Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.35m) at WSW. The outer edge of the fosse is bounded by field banks E-S and WSW-WNW, and there is a quarry on the inner edge of the fosse at S. There is no identifiable original entrance, but souterrain (RO035-014003-) is inside the perimeter at NE. Rath (RO035-014001-) is c. 70m to the W, and a roadway (RO035-104002-) defined by slight scarps (H 0.03-0.1m) on either side extends N from the rath (L c. 200m). Archaeological testing (04E1297) immediately to the E of this road in 2004 produced no archaeological material (Read 2007h). See the attached aerial image taken from the NW.

Inside the perimeter of rath (RO035-014002-) at NE. This is a rectangular depression (dims of top 4.6m NNW-SSE; 2.2m ENE-WSW; D 0.5m) with the lintel of an inaccessible souterrain visible at the SSE end.

At the crest of a N-facing slope within field system (RO035-015002-). It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a rectangular hachured feature at the SE angle of a field on the 1911 edition, representing the NW quadrant. This is a rectangular grass-covered area (dims 23.7m E-W; 22.7m N-S) defined by earthen banks (Wth 3.3-5.1m; int. H 0.3-0.4m; ext. H 0.3-1m) which survive best at the SE corner (int. H 1.3m). There are quarries outside the banks at N and W but there is no identifiable original entrance, and the perimeter was integrated with field banks at S and E, which probably altered its shape into its present form.

On a N-facing slope. An area of about 16 acres (c. 6.5 ha) contains a field system defined by low banks or scarps. It consists of large rectangular fields (dims c. 200m x c. 100m) and incorporates rath (RO035-015001-), altering its shape into a subrectangular form. Although the fields are not recorded on any map they are not likely to be ancient. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

On a N-facing slope. A roadway defined by earthen banks on either side extends N from rath (RO035-014001-) on aerial photograph (CUCAP: AJQ 99) (L c. 230m). A short stretch (L c. 20m) of this survives c. 50m N of the rath as a carriageway (Wth 3m) defined by a field bank at W and an earthen bank (Wth 0.7m; H 0.3m) at E. North of the NE-SW Strokestown to Four Mile House road (R368) the ancient road continues until it reaches the low-lying ground of a SW-NE valley.

A slightly sunken roadway (Wth c. 7m) defined by slight scarps (H 0.05-0.1m) survives (L c. 125m) as far as the NE-SW Strokestown to Four Mile House road (R368), beyond which the ancient road survives more robustly (L c. 55m) defined by earthen banks (Wth c. 2m; H 0.5m) until it reaches the low-lying ground of a SW-NE valley.

Towards the bottom of a N and NW-facing slope. On the N side of the NE-SW Strokestown to Four Mile House road (R368) a relict road connects with the W side of the old road (RO035-104001-) and is visible as two earthen banks placed 5-9m apart extending SW (L c. 330m), which closely follows the line of the present road. At its W end a branch begins to extend S towards rath (RO035-008----) c. 120m distant. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 August, 2015

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.
