- DU011-023001: Ringfort - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU011-023001-. Located in a field of low-lying pasture. The 1837 OS 6-inch map shows an oval enclosure (50m N-S; 30m E-W). The depiction of the site on the current OS 6-inch map suggests that it was a ringfort. An archaeological assessment of the site in the winter of 1999 revealed no archaeological evidence for the monument. A dwelling had been constructed on the site (Conway, 2000, 57-8).

This is a small field in the N end of the townland. There is a local tradition that it was 'an old fort or burying place' (Healy1975, 23). Not visible at ground level.

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.
