- CW004-041: Moated site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCW004-041----. The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Large, disturbed rectangular area (60m N-S, 30m E-W) enclosed by a massive but defaced bank. Traces of fosse visible outside bank at S. Traces of entrance visible at midpoint of bank at W.
- CW004-065: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCW004-065----. In tillage. A D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 27m N-S; c. 33m E-W) identified as a cropmark by Faith Bailey and Simon Dowling on satellite imagery (Google Earth Pro, imagery date 14 July 2018). The straight side runs E-W to S (L 24m). There is a gap in the E quadrant (Wth c. 6m) which is probably the entrance. There are cropmarks of two field boundaries running N-S on either side of the enclosure, that c. 25m to the W is indicated on the 1st and 2nd eds of the OS 6-inch map but that c. 7m to the E appears to have been levelled before the 1st ed. map.

An oval enclosure (dims. c. 45m NNW-SSE; c. 60m ENE-WSW) identified as a cropmark by Faith Bailey and Simon Dowling on satellite imagery (Google Earth Pro, imagery date 14 July 2018). The enclosure is defined by a fosse and there is a possible entrance (Wth c. 2.7m) in the NE quadrant. This enclosure appears to overlie the NE portion of another enclosure (CW004-067----), visible as a fainter cropmark.

An oval enclosure (dims. c. 45m NNE-SSW; c. 64m E-W) identified as a cropmark by Faith Bailey on satellite imagery (Google Earth Pro, imagery date 14 July 2018). This enclosure appears to underlie the SW portion of a larger oval enclosure (CW004-066----), also visible as a cropmark.

An oval enclosure (dims. c. 27m N-S; c. 32m NE-SW) defined by a cropmark is visible on Google Earth (imagery date 14 July 2018), identified and reported by Simon Dowling. Also identified as cropmarks are two oval enclosures (CW004-066----; CW004-067----) c. 180m to the NNW.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
