- CL016-101: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL016-101----. At the edge of a shelf on a NNW-facing slope with extensive views to the E and NE. Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A roughly circular cashel (dims. 35.1m NNE-SSW; 33.5m WNW-ESE crest to crest) defined from E to NW by a collapsed and grass-covered drystone wall (Wth 3.5-4.5m at base; int. H 0.3-0.45m at S; ext. H 0.45m at S). At N and NE, the wall has been reduced to a scarp (H 0.2m at E and NE; max. H 1m at N) and at N in particular the outer edge of the scarp is difficult to determine. A single stone at SW (dims. L 0.15m; Wth 0.8m; H 0.6m) has its long axis pointing towards the centre of the site. The interior slopes to the NW where the ground is lower (1.4m) than at SE. A step of rock outcrop is exposed inside the perimeter at the N (max. H c. 0.6m) and a low collapsed and grassed-over drystone wall (H 0.2m; Wth 2m) extends across the interior from E to NW. An adjoining field wall at N and NE has recently been removed and piles of field clearance rubble are visible along the extant wall to the E. A natural scarp curves parallel to the perimeter of the site along the NW giving the false impression of an internal fosse (Wth 4m).

- CL016-154: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL016-154----. At the SW corner of a plateau, overlooking the cliff face of a ravine immediately to the S and W (H. c. 10m), in dense hazel growth. This cashel (int. dims. 16.6m N-S; 15.1m E-W; ext. dims. 27.4m N-S) is reduced to a stone spread that is widest at N (Wth 8m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.7m). From E to S the spread material has been reused to build a drystone wall (H 1.3m) along the outer wall-face and here the spread is 3m wide. From S to NW the spread (Wth 2-2.5m) is flush with the interior but outer wall-facing is visible at the cliff edge. Field walls extend off it at NE, E and SE.

- CL017-054: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL017-054----. Situated on a knoll on a NE-facing slope. Listed as ‘Church’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Only the N wall of this 18th-century church survives. It was built in 1793-4 by the ‘Moravian Brethern’ who had been invited to the area by a resident family (Swinfen 1992, 95). They left in 1796 during the unrest before the 1798 Rebellion. The surviving wall (aligned WNW-ESE; Wth 0.62m; int. L 14.07m; H c. 4m) shows three built-in arches, each 3.2m wide, separated by piers (Wth 1.25m). It has an external plinth. All that remains of the S wall is a wide mound (Wth 6.4m; H 0.5m). There is one lintelled doorway (Wth 1.1m; H 1.75m) within the central arch. A plaque in Irish was placed on one of the piers in 1994 commemorating the 200th anniversary of the building of the church. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 8 June 2016
- CL017-226: Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL017-226----.

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.
