- Special Protection Area: Slieve Aughty Mountains SPA, site code 004168, https://www.npws.ie/protected-sites/spa/004168

## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- CL021A010: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL021A010----. Situated in the village of Whitegate. A rectangular 19th-century Roman Catholic church (ext. dims. 24.58m SE-NW; 10.47m SW-NE). There is a window in the NW gable over the altar area and another window in the SE gable. Four pointed lancet windows with hood mouldings are located in both the SW and NE walls. A wooden gallery supported by carved wooden columns is still in place. The roof is in good condition and has a small cross at one end and a belfry at the other. The church fell out of religious use in 1968 as it was feared the SW wall would collapse. For a number of years boatbuilding took place here. Subsequently the building has been used to house a furniture company and a number of modifications have been made. The original doorway in the SE wall is not extant as it was widened to accommodate the loading of furniture. It has been replaced by a corrugated metal doorway.

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.
