- GA104-080: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA104-080----. On a slope in rough pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 31m) defined by a drystone wall, much obscured by overgrowth and overlain by a field wall at S. A lot of field-clearance rubble has been piled against and on top of the enclosing wall and a large clearance cairn has been packed against the external wall-face in the N sector. The field walls shown on the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map at NW, N, NE and SE have been removed. An L-shaped foundation line noted in the NW quadrant of the interior in 1983 (SMR file) may be the remains of an internal division or house site. The landowner found bones and small flagstones when digging a low earthen ridge (L c. 11m; Wth c 1.5m) to the E of the cashel wall.

- GA104-081: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA104-081----. On a low N-S running ridge in pastureland. This very poorly preserved subcircular cashel (c. 35m N-S; c. 33m E-W) is defined by massive intermittent inner and outer facing-stones (Wth 3.5m at N). Two upright boulders flank the original entrance (Wth 1.6m) at SSE. The interior slopes from NE to SE and is strewn with boulders. The field walls shown on the 1933 ed. of the OS 6-inch map at NW, NE and SE are very much collapsed. There is a souterrain (GA104-081001-) in the W half of the interior. (McCaffrey 1950, 220, no. 91) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 19 January 2017
- GA104-081001: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA104-081001-. Within the W half of a cashel(GA104-081----). This inaccessible souterrain is indicated by a shallow subrectangular depression (L 4.4m; Wth 3.8m) which runs E-W. One roof lintel is clearly visible.

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.
