On low-lying, level ground at the N side of a laneway in mixed woodland with a S-N stream c. 40m to the W. The subrectangular limestone roofstone (dims 3m x 3m; T 0.6m) has subsided to the N, destroying the N side of the W-facing chamber, but one N sidestone remains. Two sidestones and the portal stone (H 2m) on the S and the septal-stone survive. A headstone (RO051-043002-) (dims 1.84m x 0.68m; T 0.15m) with an illegible inscription in false relief and the date 1748 lies c. 3m E of the tomb and is reputedly made from the missing portal stone. Archaeological testing (07E1042) c. 80m to the SW failed to produce any related material (Kieran 2010). (English 1969, 1; de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 39) See attached image taken from the S.

Located in the N face of a flat-bottomed quarry (dims c. 20m N-S; c. 10m E-W; D 1.5m at N to c. 4m at W) which is on the W side of a N-S road. The quarry is marked on the 1837 and 1915 eds of the OS 6-inch map but the sweat-houses are not. A rectangular house (ext. dims c. 10m E-W; c. 3.5mN-S) was built against the N wall of the quarry but this is now reduced to the base of the walls (max. H 1m). There are two sweat-houses placed c. 4m apart. The W structure is tear-shaped (int. dims 1.3m N-S; 0.95m E-W; H 0.6m), roofed with a large capstone, and has a small rectangular opening (Wth 0.45m; H 0.55m). The E structure has a lintelled doorway (Wth 0.4m; H 0.75m) and opens into a rectangular chamber (max. dims 1.6m N-S; 1.07m E-W; H 1m) roofed with two large capstones.

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.
