The lands currently are primarily in grass having had a precedent of proven tillage ground. Bounding the Kells Road is the remanence of an old small quarry which provides for a precedent of use. This farm is located in an area known for progressive and intensive farming practices hence this holding would be attractive to any farming enterprise. The subject holding is located abutting the Kilkenny City – Kells Road R697 less than 3.8km south of the Kilkenny City Ring Road and 8.2km north of Kells Village.
