- DG090-009001: Hut site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG090-009001-. Situated on wet rushy land in upland area on W facing slope of rising land. Poorly preserved remains of a sub-circular shaped hutsite (int. diam. 5.4m) defined by a low dry-stone wall (T 0.9m; H 0.2m) with much collapsed rubble which partially obscures the shape of the hut site. There are possible traces of an internal cross-wall although this is obscured by the collapsed stone. There is no evidence of any entrance into the hut site. A second hut site (DG090-009002-) is located 170m to the NW and both of these hut sites are located amongst a field system (DG090-009003-) which appears to be contemporaneous with the settlement sites.

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.
