Situated on the S face of a prominent rocky knoll. Chapel site (WM013-088----) located 460m to S. Depicted on the 1838 ed. OS six inch map as a complex of fields and small rectilinear enclosures annotated as ‘Old Town’. The OS field name books (No. 49, 29) recorded that 'in the centre of the townland of Tevrin a good many houses now in ruins. It is therefore called the old town'. An area of linear banks and foundations of rectangular shaped houses defined by grass-covered earth and stone banks covering an area approx. 3 hectares in size. These earthworks represent the remains of a clustered settlement annotated as 'Old Town' on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map. These earthworks are clearly visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph. The remains of a possible sunken way of medieval date can be seen running roughly E-W on the S edge of the earthwork complex.
