National Monument No. 572. Described in 1970 as a ‘circular slightly uneven enclosure, sloping slightly from N-S bounded by a scarp with slight remains of an earthen bank on its upper edge and with remains of a fosse at its foot. The bank is best preserved from NE-E. Elsewhere it rises barely above the interior. The bank is denuded to the level of the interior from SW-S-SE and U-shaped fosse is not visible there. There is a modern bank outside the scarp on the SE. The shallow fosse is well defined from SW-W-N. From N-E-SE it is very slight. There are some modern depressions inside the bank on the N. A slight gap (Wth 5m-1.4m) on the SE may represent the entrance. No visible trace of a causeway. Situated on the S gentle slope of a natural rise of good pasture. The site is largely overgrown with blackthorn and scrub’ (SMR File 14/04/1970). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 26 January 2016

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
