Cropmark (GSI, W254) shows univallate circular enclosure; possibly one of the two 'lioses' referred to by Power (1940, 103) as having 'been demolished long since'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994).

- CO100-023: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO100-023----. Cropmark (GSI, W255) shows circular univallate enclosure (diam. c. 35m); possibly one of the two 'lioses' referred to by Power (1940, 103) as having 'been demolished long since'. In June 2003 a souterrain (CO100-023001-) was discovered here after the ground colapsed under the weight of a tractor. While the landowner was not aware of any rath or souterrain here, the placename 'Lios na gCruach' is associated with this area. The class for this record has therefore been changed to rath. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

In a levelled rath (CO100-023----). This earth-cut souterrain was discovered in June 2003 when the ground collapsed during ploughing. The collapsed opening (0.75m x 0.7m) revealed two passages, one leading to the SSW and the second to the E. The former (min. L 1.1m) had a rounded roof, 0.6m below ground level and was inaccessible due to collapsed earth. The second passage (min. L 1.6m) slopes steeply down to the E into a possible chamber that was also inaccessible. (Ryall 2003b) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO100-056: Prehistoric site - lithic scatter, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO100-056----.

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.
