What is recorded here
Located on a slight rise on the NW bank of the NW-SE River Blackwater, at a point where it changes direction from NW-SE to WSW-ENE. The stream is c. 110-135m distant SE-WSW and it is also just across the river from the early church site of Castlekeeran (ME016-006----). The parchmark in grass of a circular area (int. diam. c. 53m E-W; c. 50m N-S) defined by what is probably a continuous fosse (Wth c. 5m) is visible on Apple Maps (2018). It is also less clearly visible on OSI images (1995) and Google Earth (02/07/2018), and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
