Located in a natural hollow towards the bottom of a SE-facing slope, with a slight hill rising c. 400m to the SE. The holy well known as Toberchríost - Christ's Well - had a pattern on St. John's Eve, the 28th June, until c. 1820, according to John O'Donovan writing c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1933, 13). This is a natural spring and the source of a stream that runs off to the S, but there is no evidence of veneration. Archaeological testing (18E0522) of an extensive area of about 14 ha (c. 35 acres) immediately to the W and SW produced potential archaeological material in five of 23 trenches.

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.
