- CV024-001: Standing stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV024-001----. An earlier report (OPW 1968) recorded that this standing stone had been moved from the location marked on the OS eds. to a point 6m to E. Original position was just SSE of the summit of a high drumlin ridge. It comprised an irregular, hard, composite boulder (H 1.15m; dims. 0.85m x 0.62m) noteworthy for the numerous streaks of quartzite in its composition. The stone has been removed from the second position in recent years and is now unlocated. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
- CV024-002: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV024-002----. Raised circular area (int. diam. 46m NNE-SSW) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and fosse. At ESE fosse has become extremely waterlogged. Break in bank at E probably represents original entrance. Overlooked by Bruse Hill to SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008

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.
