In level pasture, on a S-facing slope of the Ox Mountains. An oval area (22.5m N-S; 28m E-W) enclosed by a ruinous drystone wall (Wth 2.2m; H c. 0.3m). There are several breaks in the wall along the N arc and one at SW. A field boundary wall crosses the W half of the interior on a N-S axis; a right angled corner of another field boundary wall truncates the cashel wall and encroaches slightly into interior in the NE quadrant. The interior is heavily poached by cattle and there is a rock outcrop in the centre.

A second terrace (H 0.9m), revetted by large stones, is evident NNE-SE, 5.2m outside the cashel wall. The interior slopes down to SE. The cashel is overgrown with ferns, brambles and hawthorn bushes. A shed has been built adjacent to the innermost terrace at SE.

In pasture, on a S-facing slope of the Ox Mountains and in the N corner of a field. An oval area (c. 19m N-S; c. 24m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1m) SE-S, W-NW and by a scarp S-W. The bank is levelled NW-NE and truncated by a field boundary NE-SE. There is a terrace (Wth 7m; H 0.7m) outside the bank and scarp SE-SW. A short section of a possible outer earthen bank (H 0.7m) is evident c. 4m outside the perimeter of the rath at NW.

Due to an error in the SMR files this possible rath was recorded as levelled and not visible at ground level (Egan et al. 2005). It is, however, extant. It consists of a roughly circular area (diam. c. 35-40m) enclosed by a bank which has been incorporated into later field boundaries/hedgerows.

H 0.6m; ext. H 1m) SW-W and by a scarp (H 0.7m) elsewhere. The interior slopes gently down to SSE. The enclosure is partially overgrown with grass, ferns and some coniferous trees.

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.
