The National Monuments Service's description
According to Power (1905, 120-1) the Rian Bó Phadraig crossed the W-E Blackwater River by a ford just opposite the motte and bailey (WA021-022-----) known as the Round Hill. It crossed Bóthan na Naomh c. 400m to the S, and its line could be traced southwards to Deerpark townlands.
