Situated near the summit of a NW-SE ridge, one mile NE of Glencree. Two large rocks one of which displays a very weathered incised Greek cross with T-shaped terminals and the letters IHS'. (Information Kenneth Clear) According to O' Donovan (O'Flanagan 1928, 5) it was locally known as 'Castle Toole'.

Situated on a steep S-facing slope. D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 50m N-S; 45m E-W) defined by a bank consisting of earthfast boulders and earth, surmounted in some places by an irregularly constructed drystone wall. There is no visible entrance or fosse. The site is incorporated into the surrounding field system.

Situated on a gentle S/SE-facing slope. The original enclosure at this site appears to have been about 65m in diameter although the present remains are smaller (dims. c. 40m N-S; c. 35m E-W). It is defined at the W by a curving earth and stone bank (Wth 1.6m; H 0.9m) with drystone facing and on the N side by a stream. It was known as Ros Lachan (Ducks’ Wood) and Ros an tSéipéil (Chapel Wood), but if it was ever used as a graveyard it had been abandoned by the early nineteenth century (O'Flanagan 1928, 3-4). A low mound (dims. 3.5m x 2.5m), known locally as the 'Bishop's Grave', lies in the W sector. A small rectangular field has been superimposed on the SE portion of the site. A bullaun stone with a single oval basin (dims. 0.4m x 0.36m; D 0.18m) lies in the SW corner of the enclosure and is still used to cure warts.

Situated on a gentle S/SE-facing slope. Oval enclosure (dims. 40m E-W; 30m N-S) defined by a substantial stone wall (Wth 1.5m; int. H 1.35m; ext. H 1.5m). This forms a paddock within a field system of similar massive walls. The rubble wall is very well constructed and there is a capping of alternating long and short stones surmounting the outer face which is consistently higher than the inner one. At the N (upslope) an inner wall (Wth 1.2-1.5m) has been added to the original construction probably as a buttressing feature. The ground within the enclosure has been thoroughly cleared apart from some very large earthfast boulders which have been used as the foundation of carefully constructed and faced clearance cairns. There are no gaps in the enclosure wall and no trace of an entrance feature or a fosse. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008

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.
