A network of irregular field walls (c. 1.km NE-SW; c. 800m NW-SE) visible on Digital Globe (2011-2013) and on OSi Aerial Premium (2012-2018) extending across Ballyhenna and Cahercloggaun townlands and associated with 4 cashels including Cahercloggaun itself (CL004-077001-) and Cahermoyle (CL004-078----). A number of fields in the area have been reclaimed. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 30 August 2021
- CL008-053002: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL008-053002-. On a gentle S-facing slope, in undulating pastureland and karst limestone outcrops, within a field system (CL008-053001-). Hachured on the 1842 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This roughly suboval cashel-like enclosure (int. dims. 43.2m NNE-SSW; 31.8m WNW-ESE) is defined by a wide and partly overgrown stone wall and associated tumble (combined Wth 5-7m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.65-1.4m). A later drystone wall has been built on top of it. Another NNW-SSE running field wall crosses the interior at WNW and E. Also within the interior, a number of barely traceable collapsed walls suggest internal divisions; one wall (L c. 30m) running NW-SE extends roughly across the middle of the enclosure and other walls extend off it to the NNE and SSW. A hut site (CL008-053004-) lies c. 36.5m to the NNE. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 20 October 2022
- CL008-053003: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL008-053003-. On a gentle SSW-facing slope, in undulating pastureland and karst limestone outcrops, within a field system (CL008-053001-). This suboval cashel-like enclosure (int. dims. 45m NE-SW; 32.6m NW-SE) has been disturbed by later field-wall construction. From N-SE the collapsed wall (Wth 7m) is overlain by a later field wall (H 1m) and is heavily overgrown from N-E. It is best preserved from SE-SW where it is defined by a double-faced randomly coursed stone wall (Wth 2.7; int. H 0.55m). Some large limestone uprights are also visible in its make-up and field-clearance rubble has been packed against the outer wall-face. Current aerial imagery (OSi digitalglobe 2011-2013) indicates that the cashel was originally more circular in plan and that the NW-SE running field wall running through its W edge clipped the enclosing wall at W and N. The outline of the cashel wall is visible on the imagery to the NW of this wall. Within the interior, a subrectangular area (13m NW-SE; 9m NE-SW), enclosed by a collapsed and grass-covered wall (Wth 1.2m; H 0.25m), is visible against the S end of the field wall. It may be an internal division. A telegraph pole has been erected in the N sector. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 20 October 2022

On a gentle S-facing slope, in undulating pastureland and karst limestone outcrops, within a field system (CL008-053001-). This circular hut site (int. diam. 4.6m) is defined by a collapsed and grass-covered wall (Wth 0.5m; H 0.45m) with an entrance gap (Wth 0.7m) at the NW. A possible cashel (CL008-053002-) lies c. 36.5m to the SSW.

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.
