Situated on lowlying marshy ground with medieval road (WM011-049----) and bridge (WM011-052---) immediately to N and NE respectively. Templecross church (WM011-051----) and graveyard (WM011-051001-) 300m to W. Tristernagh priory (WM011-053----) 300m to NE. Fish-pond depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a rectangular-shaped pond fed by a water channel on E side. A rectangular-shaped depression (approx. dims. 70m ENE-WSW x 25m NNW-SSE) intersected by post-1700 drains along its E side appears to represent the remains of a fish pond of uncertain date. It close proximity to the 13th century Augustinian priory (WM011-053---) may suggest it is medieval in date. However it is also possible that it formed part of the estate of Tristernagh House built on the site of the priory in 1783. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 22 August 2017
