Situated on top of a gentle N-facing slope in undulating pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The site has been levelled. However, the outline of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 16m) defined by a slightly raised ring of darker vegetation is still identifiable. Compiled by: Patrick F.

Situated atop a low ridge in pasture. Circular, steep-sided mound of earth and stone (diam. at base c. 2 1m; H 2.8m). At the top of the mound is a small irregularly-shaped, almost level area (dims. 5.1m NNE-SSW; 4.2m WNW-ESE). The mound is encircled by a wide, deep fosse (Wth 3.8m) which has a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth. 6.5m; max. H 1m) at its outer lip. On the OS 1912 edition of the OS 25-inch map are five irregularly-shaped, recumbent boulders with the collective designation 'Standing Stones (Called the Children of the Mermaid)'. A sixth was identified during the site visit. A seventh is recorded in a legend, much of which is based at the site, which was recorded by Wood-Martin (1887-8, 290). There is no evidence that any of the boulders were ever in an upright position. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

A break (Wth 2m) in the inner bank at E, with traces of an accompanying causeway across the fosse, represents the original entrance. There is another rath (SL016-053----) c. 60m to SSE.

H 1.1m at N, 2m at S). The S half of the enclosure has been built up to compensate for the natural S-facing slope and create a relatively level interior. A break (Wth c. 2m) in the bank at ESE may represent the original entrance. There is another rath (SL016-052----) c. 60m to NNW. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

In front of 'Scurmore House' is a portion of a cut stone pillar, now used as an ornamental feature in the garden. The pillar is octagonal (diam. 23cm), each facet or face being 10cm wide. It is 1.02m tall and stands on a square base with faceted corners. While the exact function of this pillar is unclear the possibility that it may be the base of garden ornamental feature, such as a sun-dial, seems likely. Compiled by: Patrick F.

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.
