The holding possesses approximately 25 acres of usable pasture lands and the majority of which are good quality. The holding is approached via a right of way through a hardcore roadway and the lands are laid out in several divisions. The hill of Mael is a mountain summit in the region of Westmeath and is located approximately 6km south of Castlepollard. Castlepollard itself is a picturesque town nestled in a lush part of Westmeath, and the hill provides an elevated perspective of the rolling landscapes, farmlands, and possibly the nearby Lough Lene, a scenic lake known for its clear waters. The Hill of Mael is associated with ancient times and is thought to be connected to early Irish clans and local chieftains. The area surrounding Castlepollard, including the Hill of Mael, has seen human activity since ancient times, with its landscape being shaped by both prehistoric and medieval settlements. It likely served as a strategic lookout point due to its elevation and may have played a role in local defence or territorial control. In recent years, the Hill of Mael and its surrounding areas have gained more attention from both locals and visitors who appreciate its beauty and connection to Irish heritage. It is one of many natural features in the region that contribute to the quiet charm and rural character of Castlepollard, making it a peaceful spot for walking or enjoying the natural environment.
