The boundary of Swords Glebe together with the curving alignment of the Brackenstown Road, Church Road and Rathbeale indicate the original extent of the early monastic foundation associated with St. Colmcille. On the south side the steep slope down to the Ward river immediately south of the Brackenstown Road forms a natural boundary. Cartographic evidence suggests that the western enclosure was most likely aligned along a former laneway visible on the Ordnance Survey six inch maps, now St Columba's Rise housing estate.
