In gently undulating scrub and cragland, now partially cleared for grassland. When surveyed in 1979 (SMR file) 'at least three house sites' were noted within this notable complex of monuments that covers an area of 0.5km sq. and which included a large field system (GA056-024008-) and five cashels (GA056-024001-, GA056-024004-, GA056-024005-, GA056-024007-, GA056-024009-). One of the houses (see GA056-024006-) may be that which lies immediately to the E of the cashel (GA056-024004-); the precise location of the other two (GA056-024002-) is unknown. (ASGAP 167:81)

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
