==Local interest== The townland contains one Scheduled Historic Monument: a wedge tomb (grid ref: H7065 6850). The stones forming the ante-chamber and burial chamber can be seen, but none of the roof lintels have survived. There is substantial cairn material and the burial chamber is filled with rubble.
