The foundations of a rectangular house (RO050-006003-) (ext. dims at least 5.2m E-W; 4.6m N-S), locally regarded as a children's burial ground (RO050-006002-), are against the inner edge of the perimeter at SSW.

On a rise towards the bottom of an E-facing slope in an undulating landscape. Oval grass-covered area (dims 34.6m NNE-SSW; 26.8m WNW-ESE) defined by a stone spread SSE-NNW, reduced to a stoney scarp elsewhere. A drystone wall is built on the perimeter SSE-W-ENE, forming the townland boundary with Lugboy N-NE, and extends outside the scarp elsewhere ENE-SSE, creating a rectangular enclosure (dims 34m NNE-SW; c. 34m WNW-ESE). There are small cairns and grave-markers in the interior, but there is no evidence of a church (RO050-007002-), which John O'Donovan writing in the 1830s suggested was known locally as Cill Fhiacláin or Cill Dhiacláin (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 24).

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.
