The National Monuments Service's description

According to Carrigan (1905, 297), the town of Fertagh, 'is said to have been situated in the field between Steepleview House [KK008-048----] and the churchyard [KK08-047002-]. Earthworks associated with settlement were identified on aerial photographs (CUCAP 1968, AYP 2; CUCAP 1968, AVQ 104) and are visible on Digitalglobe (viewed 5 October 2018) to N, S and W of the Augustinian abbey (KK008-047001-).
