- WI039-022001: Ecclesiastical enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI039-022001-. Situated on a very gentle ENE-facing slope in grassland. In the SW sector of an oval enclosure are several small, uninscribed grave-markers set in rows and a granite cross-slab with pointed head and arms (H 0.94m). The head is broken and lies beside the rest of the cross. One side had a crucifixion figure in low relief which is no longer visible (Price 1945, 257). The enclosure (dims. 45m NE-SW; 30m NW-SE) is defined by an earthen bank, with external drystone facing on the better preserved SW side, (Wth 2.5-3.2m; int. H 0.4-1.2m; ext. H 0.9m) and a shallow external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.8m) which is not visible at the NE. There are two gaps in the bank; that at the N (Wth 2m) appears to have drystone facing, and that at the S (Wth 1.45m) has bank terminals and a probable causeway over the fosse with a ramp leading up to the interior.

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.
