The OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 70) note that the infamous 'Nuala na meadoige', the mother of David Burke, is said to have resided here. Only a low rectangular flat-topped grassy mound (NNW-SSE 7m, H 1.2m) survives. No architectural features are visible. A holy well (GA007-020----) lies 150m to W.
