In improved pasture, on a N-facing slope. Low profile, sub-oval area (dims. 28m N-S; 35m E-W to field boundary) is defined by levelled scarp (Wth 1.6m; H 0.1m) SSE-W-NNE and a possible fosse (Wth 6.15m; D 0.3m) SSE-SW.

In rough, ungrazed pasture in area of disused quarry. Depicted on the first 1840 edition OS 6-inch map as an irregular enclosure with a linear field boundary extending from the NW and SE-sides. On the 2nd 1904 ed. a curving bank is depicted (chord c. 40m) immediately E of a quarry face, which appears to be upcast from the quarry. According to local information, this has always been in use as a quarry. A possible ringfort (TS066-135----) lies c. 100m to the ENE.

In pasture, on a level area of a steep N-facing slope with panoramic views WSW-N-ENE. Circular area (diam. 24m) defined by bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 1.1m), broad, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4.3m; D 0.65m) from NNE-S-NW, a berm (Wth 6-10.5m), an outer bank (Wth 5.25m; int. H 0.7-1m; ext. H 0.9-2m) and an outer fosse (Wth 4.85-6.25; D 0.2-0.25m). The inner bank has been reduced to scarp (Wth 2.75m; H 0.8m) SSE-SSW and NW-N and has a possible entrance (Wth 3m) at N and a gap (Wth 1.5m) is at E. The inner fosse is slightly backfilled SSE-SSW. The berm is widest at S and is densely overgrown.The outer bank has an entrance (basal Wth 2m; overall Wth 5m) at N, with gaps (Wth 1.5-3m) at E, ESE, NE due to livestock and gaps (Wth 1.75m) at NW and at SW (Wth 1m) due to drainage. A field boundary (long axis E-W) goes across the outer fosse at ESE to abut the outer bank. Stream that flows on S-side of this field boundary joins fosse SE-SSW and continues along field boundary (long axis ENE-WSW) on W-side of monument. Dry drain (long axis NW-SE) extends from the outer fosse at NW. Interior has a slight N-facing slope and is becoming overgrown with briars especially in NE-quadrant. A possible annexe (dims. 22m NNW-SSE; 15m ENE-WSW) adjoins the outer fosse at NE and is defined by a bank (Wth 3.95m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.55m) at N, E and S-sides and a fosse (Wth 3.95m; D 0.5m) on S-side. Interior of annexe is grass covered and deeply poached by cattle. Small coppice (dims. 32m c. N-S; 28m c. E-W) of coniferous trees abutting monument S-SSW.

On the summit of Shrough Hill, part of the Slievenamuck/Moanour mountains, with forestry encroaching to within 10m to N, E and W, forestry to W has been felled affording an extensive view of the Galty mountains and foothills below. A cairn, possibly a passage tomb (LI058-001----), is visible on Temple Hill c. 9km to the SSE, at the W end of the Galtys. A stone wall runs E-W along the S edge of the mound. The monument consists of a roughly circular cairn (diam. 30m; H 2m) with a small, roofless polyogonal chamber (int. dims. L 2.2m; Wth 1.2m), aligned roughly E-W, near the centre of the cairn (De Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 101; Ó Nualláin and Cody 1987, 76-8). The sidestones vary in height from 1.2m to 1.8m (ibid. 76).

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.
