In pasture, on a N-facing slope; Excellent views NW-NE. Oval area (dims. c. 28m N-S; c. 20m E-W) defined by bank (Wth 3.85m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.1m) which is obscured by overgrowth in places. Gap (Wth 5m) at WNW. Fosse (overall Wth 3.35m; basal Wth 1m; D 0.85m) WSW-W appears to have been deepened through drainage works. Water flows through fosse and exits into a linear land drain (long axis NW-SE) at W. Shallow channel noted in area of fosse ENE-SE but this may be a modern drainage feature. Fosse is obscured by dense vegetation SE-WSW where it is assumed to be shared with conjoined enclosure (TS066-071001-). Interior is obscured by overgrowth in SE-half and moderately accessible in NW-half. Earthen bank (long axis NE-SW; H 0.8m) flanked to SE by drain (D 0.95m) bisects interior as depicted on latest edition OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

In pasture, on a N-facing slope; Excellent views NW-NE. Oval area (diam. c. 28m) defined by bank (Wth 5.3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 3.7m). Fosse (Wth 5.55m; D 1.7m) has been deepened to serve as a drainage channel NE-E-S. Fosse is not depicted on latest edition OS 6-inch map NE-ESE, so drainage channel here may be recent. A less defined fosse is evident S-SW, but is obscured by dense vegetation. Interior obscured by impenetrable vegetation for most part. Conjoined to enclosure (TS066-071----) to NNE and enclosure (TS066-071002-) to SE. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

Scarp (Wth 3.45m; H 0.6m) is best preserved on E-side and is eroded at NE-corner. Fosse (Wth 4.75m; D 0.2m) at S, W and N. Short channel (L 10m) extends from SE-corner of fosse toward stream at E and may be a drainage feature. Short portion of outer bank (Wth 4.95m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.1m) is traceable at NW. Interior is level and poorly drained. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

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.
