A short distance to the N of these earthworks is a linear NW-SE fosse which can be traced for c. 50m before stopping short of the stream to E. A second fosse (L c. 50m), which expands at its W end into a circular depression (diam. c. 8m), lies c. 40m to S.

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.
