- GA100-134: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA100-134----. On a gentle N-facing slope in farmland. Poorly preserved circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) defined by a bank from SSW to NNW; a scarp forms the enclosing element from NNW to N and from SSE to SSW. No visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives from N to SSE. A field boundary overlies the enclosing element from SSE through S to NW. The cartographic evidence suggests that this was a rath. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 15 April 2019
- GA100-135: Moated site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA100-135----. In level pastureland. This poorly preserved rectangular moated site (50m N-S; 47m E-W) is defined by two earth and stone banks and an intervening fosse. Traces of stone revetment are visible on both banks. The substantial inner bank (Wth 5-7.1m; int. H 0.55-1.1m; ext. H 0.7-1.5m) is delimited by trees all round. The fosse (Wth 2.8-3.4m) is best preserved along the N and S sides; it is overgrown along the E side and is less definable along the W side. The outer bank (Wth 1.7-4.7m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.2m) is overgown with hawthorn bushes. A causewayed entrance gap (Wth 6m) at E may be original. Within the interior, abutting the inner bank at SW and W, are two adjoining walls which may enclose a rectangular structure (L 19.8m; Wth 13.5m). At N a scarp-like linear feature runs S from the inner bank for 8m, then E for 7m and then S for 17.5m. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 3 December 2019
- GA100-135001: Structure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA100-135001-. Within the SW quadrant of the interior of a moated site (GA100-135----). Abutting the inner bank at SW and W are two adjoining walls which may enclose a rectangular structure (19.8m N-S; 13.5m E-W). The N wall (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.55m) is best preserved. The E wall is barely discernible. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 4 December 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.
