On a natural rise in gently undulating terrain with marshy flood plain of the River Goul to the N and W. An early medieval monastery, of which the round tower (KK008-047004-) survives, was founded here, probably by St Ciarán of Sir in the 6th century (Harbison 1992, 198). The monastery would have been defined by a large circular or sub-circular enclosure, or more than one concentric enclosures. The precise location of the enclosing elements are unknown.
