- CW020-029: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCW020-029----. On the lower W-facing slopes of Mount Leinster in upland pasture. An oval enclosure (diam. c. 52m N-S; c. 48m E-W) defined by a low stoney bank, though the bank is not evident in the NW quadrant. Identified and reported by Michael Monahan. The enclosure is clearly visible on the ground and can also be seen on satellite imagery (OS ortho and Digitalglobe). See attached photographs taken by Michael Monahan: CW020-029----_01 Overview from NE CW020-029----_02 E stoney bank from S CW020-029----_03 SW stoney bank from E Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 14 May 2019
- CW023-040: House - indeterminate date, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCW023-040----. On the W-facing slope of Mount Leinster, in an area densely overgrown with bracken. A rectangular structure (ext. dims. 20m E-W; 5m N-S) identified by Séamus Ó Murchú on Bing satellite imagery (Ó Murchú 2016). This is not depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map or on subsequent editions, suggesting it pre-dates 1840. Described as being in a severely collapsed state but appears to be a single storey house with outhouse on the E side (ibid.). When visited there was no evidence of an entrance, though it is likely that this had been blocked up to prevent sheep getting in (ibid.).

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.
