- CL016-118: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL016-118----. On a level area in pasture, on a steep S-facing slope; overlooked to the N but otherwise with good views. Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A subcircular rath (33m N-S; 33m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.4m). Due to the sloping nature of the ground, the scarp in the NW and N sectors slopes down into the interior. In the E and S sectors, it slopes down to the field level, giving the impression of a small terrace. Another rath (CL016-119----) is located c. 100m to the ESE.

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.
