- GA103-092: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA103-092----. In reclaimed farmland. A well-preserved roughly circular cashel (diam. c. 35m) defined by a drystone wall. A gap at NW is modern. There is a souterrain (GA103-092001-) in the WSW sector of the interior and some grassed-over foundation lines are evident at S and in the centre of it. Those at S may indicate one of two internal ‘enclosures’ noted by McCaffrey (1952, 190, no. 60) against the cashel wall at S and E. A house site (GA103-093----) lies c. 80m to the SW.

Within the WSW sector of a cashel (GA103-092----). This drystone-built souterrain is blocked up. However, a visual inspection indicated that it consists of a roughly rectangular chamber (L 3.4m; Wth 1.8m) running NNW-SSE. It curves slightly towards the S end.

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.
