In pasture, on an E-facing slope and incorporated into a field boundary. An oval area (36m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by the remains of an earthen bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.55m) S-SW, a rising scarp WSW-NNE and a scarp with an external step (Wth 2m; H 0.7m) NNE-SE. The W portion of the interior is cut into the hillslope and the E portion is raised 2.5m to compensate somewhat for the slope though there is still a slope down to E.

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.
