- GA132-024: Designed landscape feature, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA132-024----. On top of a hillock in pastureland. This much-collapsed and almost circular drystone wall (diam. c. 24m) is of similar build to the surrounding field walls. It does not appear to have been built on the line of an earlier wall or bank. The interior is uneven and overgrown with trees and some rock-outcrop is visible. It is most likely that the wall was built to enclose the tree copse. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 3 January 2018
- GA132-025: Country house, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA132-025----. The following description is from the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (see www.buildingsofireland.ie last accessed 3 January 2018). Detached L-plan three-bay, two-storey house, built c.1770, with two-bay side elevations, and having L-plan arrangement of single-storey lean-to ancillary additions to rear re-entrant corner. Hipped slate roofs with paired centrally placed rendered chimneystacks with limestone cappings. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with tooled limestone sills and timber sliding sash windows, twelve-over-eight pane to ground floor and six-over-six pane to first floor. Round-headed stair window to north elevation of return, with nine-over at least six-pane timber sliding sash window with spoked fanlight. Round-headed tooled limestone block-and-start doorcase with square-headed replacement timber panelled door, moulded lintel, and cobweb fanlight. Square-headed timber battened door to taller addition, with concrete step. Multiple-bay, single-storey outbuildings with pitched slate roofs continuing line of lower house lean-tos, having roughcast rendered walls, square-headed timber battened doors and one building having segmental-arch vehicular entrance, ranged around east, south and west sides of yard to west of house. Square-plan dressed limestone piers with cut-stone plinths and caps to road entrance, with cut limestone wheelguards and recent double-leaf metal gates, and flanked by square-headed pedestrian entrances having dressed limestone lintels and recent timber battened doors, set to roughcast rendered flanking walls with roughly dressing coping stone. It is an excellent example of the classically proportioned farmhouse, a form typical of the late eighteenth century, with regular window openings and a fine block-and-start doorcase. The house retains many of its early and original features including its timber sash windows and slate roof. The gateway at the road aptly announces the presence of this proudly maintained house, set in mature farmland and enhanced and given context by the range of modest but well-kept outbuildings.

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.
