In pasture, on a N-facing slope with views N to the Slieve Mish Mountains. A circular area (45m N-S; 44.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5.8m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 1.65m). An external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.4m) is evident SE-NE. The bank and part of the fosse are obscured by overgrowth. A partially eroded entrance (Wth c. 3m) is at E and there are cattle breaks at S and NW. The interior slopes down to the N. The faint trace of a shallow depression (Wth 1.2m; D 0.15m) is evident, along the base of the bank internally, E-SW. There is a souterrain (KE047-070001-) in the W half of the interior. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE047-070001: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE047-070001-. In a rath (KE047-070----). A series of depressions (L 5m; Wth 0.8m; D 0.4m), extending in a N-S direction, the W half of the rath may represent a collapsed souterrain chamber. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

In pasture, on a NW-facing slope. The enclosure is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a small circular enclosure (diam. c. 15m) in the SW corner of a small trapezoidal field.

In pasture, on a break of a NE-facing slope. Faint traces of this levelled rath are visible as an arc NW-S which abuts a NW-SE field boundary at SW. There is no evidence of a bank on the SW side of the field boundary. The rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m). It is indicated on the 1894 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) truncated by a field boundary at SW.

- KE047-077: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE047-077----. In pasture, on level ground. A raised subcircular area (28m NW-SE; 25m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 0.85m) N-SE, by an earthen bank (Wth c. 1.7m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.2m) SE-W and by a linear ENE-WSW field boundary which truncates the NW sector. An external fosse (Wth c. 2.2m; D c. 1m) is evident S-W, obscured by furze bushes. A wide breach in the bank along the SE arc may represent the original entrance. There is a possible souterrain (KE047-077001-) in the centre. The rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) while on the 1894 OS 6-inch map only the S half of it is indicated.

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.
