Located on a NW-facing slope on the SE shore of Bannow Bay. There is a local tradition of a church at Newtown/Vernegly, but the location is not precise. This may be the church site, known in the mid-19th century when it was described then as being at a place called Oversands (Tuomey 1850, 204), although at c. 2 km from Bannow church (WX045-045001-) it is more than the half mile (c. 800m) suggested by Tuomey.

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.
