- CV028-012001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV028-012001-. Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Largely levelled. It apparently comprised a raised circular area (int. diam. c. 40m) enclosed by an earthen bank which is still identifiable from SE-W-NW and discernible as a low scarp from N-NE. A modern drain lies outside the bank at W and a modern laneway skirts the perimeter from SE-S. Original entrance not recognisable. A barrow (CV028-012002-) is situated inside the bank at NW. 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
- CV028-012002: Barrow - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV028-012002-. This barrow is located in the NW quadrant of a large circular enclosure (CV028-012002-). Raised circular area (H 0.5m; diam. c. 13m) surrounded by a shallow fosse (Wth c. 3m) which is almost completely infilled at N. 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
- CV028-013001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV028-013001-. Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 23m) defined by a low scarp. Apparently the former enclosing features were a bank and fosse. Original entrance not recognisable. An earlier report (OPW 1977) noted possible traces of a souterrain within the internal area (CV028-013002-). 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

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.
