In pasture, on top of a knoll which is surrounded by marshy ground E-W. A level oval area (26.7m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by a broad steep scarp (H 2m) S-N with a ramp-like extension (L c. 50m E-W) tapering towards E. The scarp is most pronounced along the S arc where it merges with the broad natural slope of the knoll (H c. 4.5m). A raised oval area (Wth 4m), flanked to E and W by natural depressions, projects northwards from the NE end of the extension. The base of the knoll is defined by a steep scarp separating it from the surrounding marshy ground. There is a souterrain (SL019-16002-) in the S half of the interior. Described by O'Rorke (1878, 275-6) as '...a beautiful sod fort, with three lines of circumvallation, the innermost circle being ten yards[9.14m] in diameter, the next thirty-two [29.26m], and the outer one sixty [54.86m]'. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area with a trackway leading to it from S and on the 1913 OS 6-inch map only by an arc of hachures S-NNW.

- SL019-160002: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL019-160002-. Located in the interior of a rath (SL019-160001-), close to the enclosing scarp at S. This souterrain was recorded by O'Rorke (1878, 275-6) as '...a cave ten or twelve feet [3.66m] long and four or five feet [1.22-1.52m] wide; roofed with flags resting on sidewalls of uncemented stones'. The accessible remains consists of two intact, interconnecting chambers (chambers 1 and 2) on a roughly N–S axis, and a ruined, roofless chamber/passage (chamber 3), c. 3-4m to W of these. The current access is at surface level through an opening (max. dim. c. 0.45-0.5m) in the roof of chamber 1, the southernmost of the two intact chambers. The opening is the result of the collapse of a roof lintel. Chamber 1 (L 5.2m NNE–SSW; Wth 1.45m; H 2m) is oblong in plan. The walls are constructed of random rubble incorporating large, irregular-shaped stones and boulders. They incline inwards towards the top to support a roof of massive overlapping slabs. An air vent was noted in the SW wall(pers. comm. M.A. Timoney 2003). Two lintel-roofed creeps open off the chamber at ground level. A creep (L 2.2 N−S; H 0.9-0.95m) at the NNE end of the chamber opens into the S end of chamber 2. In chamber 1, the opening to this creep forms a short lobby (L 0.7m NNE–SSW; Wth 0.76m) roofed by a massive boulder. Beyond this, the creep narrows (Wth 0.54m), before widening and rising in height (Wth 0.8m; H 1.6m) at the point where it merges with the S wall of the chamber 2. Chamber 2 (max. Wth 1.6m; H 2.2m) is of similar construction to chamber 1, but is considerably longer, extending to N for at least 10m. It appears to narrow towards its N end, where it is blocked by a sloping heap of stone rubble. The lintelled opening (Wth 0.71m; H 0.62m) to the second creep in Chamber 1 is located at the SW end of the chamber. This creep extends for at least 2m to NW but is blocked by collapsed soil. It may lead to the ruined chamber 3 which is exposed at surface level to W of chamber 1. Chamber 3 consists of a sub-rectangular depression (L c. 3.6m E–W; Wth 1.7m N–S; D c. 0.9m at E end) with drystone walling on the N, E and S sides, and one in situ lintel at its E end. It may be the original entrance passage/chamber to the souterrain. It is engulfed in overgrowth, and partly filled with soil and stones, which may obscure a creep leading to chamber 1. During an inspection in 1994 a large stone slab was noted protruding from the ground c. 3m E of the chamber 3 possibly indicating another chamber or passage.

Listed in both the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified as 'Field System'. A number of roughly parallel walls which extend upslope on a roughly N-S axis (as indicated on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map) are crossed on an E-W axis by numerous drystone walls and form small rectangular fields (as indicated on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map). The fields are associated with a number of ruined rectangular stone-built huts and houses. Many of the fields are laid out to conform with the natural terraces of the mountain slope. Two passageways, flanked by stone walls, follow a curving roughly N-S line through the fields. There are three enclosures for holding animals (SL019-161001-, SL019-161002-, SL019-161003-) and a rath (SL019-162----) within the field system. Upon inspection in 1994 it was concluded that the field system and the enclosures for holding animals noted above, date to the post-1700 period.

In rocky pasture, on the lower N-facing slopes of the Ox Mountains and straddling a narrow terrace with a steep N-facing slope. A roughly circular area (23.3m N-S; 26m E-W) defined NE-NW by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse (Wth 3.8m) and NW-NE by a steep curving scarp (H 3.7m). The inner bank is substantial (Wth 5.6m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 2.8m) apart from along the S arc and an internal revetment of drystone walling (H 0.6m) is evident at SSE. The entrance (Wth 3m) is at S, partially obscured by a pile of field clearance stones, with a causeway (Wth 1.8m) across the fosse. The outer bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.5m) has an entrance at S blocked with stones. Both banks are capped by the low remains of a wall (Wth 1.2m) along the W arc. The interior slopes slightly down to N and S from the centre. A low N-S field boundary crosses the interior just W of the centre. This field boundary forms the W side of a roughly square structure (6m E-W; 7.3m N-S) which is defined by low sod-covered wall footings (Wth 1.1m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.55m) on its N, E and S sides. A narrow terrace (Wth 1.7m), the outer edge of which is marked by stones, skirts the base of the scarp NW-NE. An E-W field boundary lies immediately to S of the rath. The surrounding slopes have recently been planted with trees.

On a slight rise, on a broad undulating shelf on the lower N-facing slopes of the Ox Mountains. The immediate vicinity is heather-covered and broken by rock outcrops while further to W and E there are coniferous plantations. A circular area (int. diam. 25m N-S; 26m E-W) enclosed by a substantial inner drystone wall (Wth 4m) and encircled at a distance of 10m by the remains of an outer stone wall. The inner wall consists of internal and external stone facing with a rubble core. Its external face (H 1.3m) incorporates large roughly rectangular blocks of stone while the upper courses have collapsed outwards and spreads of stone tumble obscure the wall face around much of the circuit. The internal wall face (H 1.6m) is better preserved though it is partially rebuilt. In the interior, at the base of the internal face of the wall SW-NNE is a sod-covered terrace (Wth 2m; H 0.6m), probably the result of wall collapse. The internal face of the cashel wall rises to a height of 2m above this terrace but this is the result of rebuilding when the W arc of the cashel was incorporated into a property boundary. At ground level in the inner wall face at ENE there is a low opening (Wth 1m; H 0.4m) giving access to a niche (1m N-S; 1.5m E-W; H 0.7-0.75m) built into the thickness of the wall. The entrance (Wth c. 1m) is a dilapidated break at ESE. The outer enclosing wall (Wth 2.5m) consists of a low pile of rubble covered with heather and ferns. From N-E where it coincides with a natural break of slope it has an external height of c. 1m and from SSE-SSW it is incorporated into a field boundary wall that extends to E of the cashel. A ruined townland boundary wall bisects the interior on a N-S axis and crosses both cashel walls. In the intervening space between the two cashel walls at SSE is a ruined 18th/19th-century stone-built gable-ended house (int. dims.: 8.8m E-W; 3.5m N-S). A more ruinous but similar structure lies a short distance to W. Several small divisions of the space between the cashel walls are probably fields associated with these structures.

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.
