There is a hut site (SL033-114002-) in the NW quadrant and another (SL033-114003-) immediately E of centre. There is a steep natural NW-facing slope immediately outside the bank along the NW arc.

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.
