A hollow way (RO010-041003-) (L c. 100m; Wth c. 10m) can be seen running N from the ecclesiastical enclosure (RO010-040003-). Land improvement has left remains only to the NE and E of the church and S of the NE-SW public road. These consist of five conjoined rectangular fields (dims. 8m x 20m to 50m x 100m) defined by grass-covered stone spreads (Wth 2-4m) and low scarps (H 0.3m). Archaeological testing c. 220m N of the church failed to produce any archaeological features. Fulachtai fia (RO010-041004-) survive c. 180m NNW of the church.
