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

- GA128-012: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA128-012----. On a slight rise in low-lying grassland. Very poorly preserved subcircular cashel (48m NE-SW; 42m NW-SE) defined by a traces of its foundation line from ESE to S to NNW. It is overlain by a later drystone wall. No trace survives from NNW to E; there is a silage pit in the N sector. The later wall is much-collapsed between NE and E. From W to NNW traces of the original wall (Wth c. 2.2m; ext. H 0.4m) are most clearly visible but it is overgrown with briars. Two sheds have been erected within the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 13 October 2016
- GA128-013: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA128-013----. On a gentle NE-facing slope in grassland. Marked on the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1912-16) as a possible pit. However, according to local information, a 'fort' was known at this location. On inspection in July 1982 a very low grass-covered semicircular bank of earth and stone (Wth 1.6m; base Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.15m) was visible from NE to SW (int. dim. 12m NE -SW). The outer ground level was higher than the interior and a number of grass-covered boulders were visible in the interior. The 'fort' was not known to ever have been any higher and it had not been bulldozed - stones were thrown into it. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 8 February 2019
- GA128-014: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA128-014----. On an E-facing slope in grassland. Poorly preserved roughly circular cashel (diam. 23m) defined by a drystone wall overlain by a field wall at N and SW. Though much collapsed, double wall-facing is evident intermittently. A gap at ESE may be original. A possible souterrain (GA128-014001-) is associated. (Fahey 1893, 5) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 13 October 2016
- GA128-014001: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA128-014001-. Within the interior of a cashel (GA128-014----). According to Fahey (1893, 5) based on ‘local traditions, as well as structural indications’, it is likely that there is a ‘cave’ (possible souterrain) in the 'fort'. No visible surface trace of it survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 13 October 2016

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
