- KE058-022: Field boundary, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE058-022----. In pasture, on a S-facing slope. In the 1940s a bronze shears (L c. 0.18m) was discovered during turf cutting at the base of an 'old drain' which was located at a point 'just below the bottom level of the peat' (O'Kelly 1946, 65). O'Kelly suggests that the shears was knocked out from a higher level and dropped down to the point where it was found, when the drain was being dug (ibid.). The presence of the drain is indicative of a prebog field system, the extent of which is not known. There are no visible remains of the drain and the field in which it was discovered has been reclaimed. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE058-043001: Cliff-edge fort, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE058-043001-. In pasture, on the W end of a ridge on a S-facing slope with a steep drop down to a ravine on the N, S and W sides. A roughly circular area (c. 31m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 1.05m; ext. H 4m) NE-SSE, by a natural scarp (H 4.75m) SSE-SW and elsewhere by the edge of a ravine which drops steeply down to the river below. The interior is level and in pasture. A ledge (Wth 5-6m) outside the scrap S-SW gives ramp-like access to a possible entrance (Wth c. 1.6m) at SW. A drop to the ravine also occurs to the S of this ledge. There is a second possible entrance (Wth c. 2m) at NE between the bank and the edge of the ravine. A low linear earthen bank (L c. 11m) extends E along the edge of the ravine from the NE entrance. The cliff-edge fort is mentioned in the 1840s as Lissagowlane Fort, in the SW end of Buddaghauns (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 2, 6). It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m). A standing stone (KE058-043002-) is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map immediately to the E of the cliff-edge fort. A rath (KE058-044----) is c. 60m to the N on the opposite side of the ravine. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.

The name 'Gallaun' is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map immediately to the E of a cliff-edge fort (KE058-043001-). There are no visible remains of this standing stone.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
