Located at the NE end of a hedgerow-lined lane, border by pasture fields. Spring well confined to a square pool (0.9m NNE-SSW; 1m WNW-ESE) by a modern concrete wall (H 0.9m) on three sides, and by a low concrete step on the open side to WSW. The spring exits the well through an outflow hole at the base of the NNE wall, and is channelled from there as a shallow surface stream into a field drain. A burnt mound (SL014-279----) lies 45m to NNW and a second burnt mound (SL014-278---- ) is c. 75m to NNW. There is a standing stone (SL014-105----) c. 200m to NNW.

- SL014-278: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL014-278----. Located in low-lying, damp, rush-grown pasture, adjacent to a NNW-SSE drain/stream. This burnt mound was exposed during land reclamation in 2006. It appeared as a discrete concentration (diam. c. 3m) of angular stone fragments in charcoal-rich soil, partly obscured by upcast from the drain. A slight rise (diam. c. 8m) in surrounding ground level may indicate the original limits of the mound. Another burnt mound (SL014-278----) is located 20m to S, and there is a Holy Well (SL014-106) c. 75m to SSE. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 22 July 2015

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.
