- GA107-051: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA107-051----. On an E-W running ridge in grassland. Marked on the 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map (1945) as a circular enclosure (c. 33m NE-SW; c. 28m NW-SE). Traces of a low scarp were evident from NW to NNW, otherwise no visible surface trace survived due to extensive quarrying. A barn and silo pit occupied the S sector of the interior. Based on the siting and cartographic evidence it is possible that this was a rath. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 21 February 2019

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.
