Situated on the E shoreline of Lough Ree. A rectangular-shaped area (approx. dims. 36m NW-SE; 33m NE-SW) enclosed by a mortared rubble wall (T 0.7m) with an external base-batter and no dressed stone visible. The bawn is entered though a gap in the E side of the wall near the NE corner. Structure depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a rectangular shaped enclosure, annotated as ‘Bawn’. This site is known locally as a cattle pound. The bawn appears to be located at the N end of a long oval-shaped rise of ground (approx. diam. 144m NW-SE; 55m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank or scarp visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph. No evidence of any building inside the bawn wall.
