The foundations of a building (dims. 10.5m E-W; 7m N-S) containing some roughly dressed granite blocks, traditionally the site of a church and named as such on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. Some cut stone, possibly from a door or window, is reputed to have been removed from the site. The cairn was hollowed out forming a roughly circular enclosure and there is some indication that edge of the cairn was at one stage structured to form a bank (Wth c. 5m). There is a well known as 'St Gad's Well' (WI015-029003-) excavated into the cairn at the W.

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.
