- KE058-032: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE058-032----. In pasture, on a NE-facing slope. A circular area (36m NE-SW; 34m NW-SE) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 0.7m) E-NW and by a scarp (ext. H 1.5m) with an external lip (int. H 0.35m) NW-E. Trees grow along the bank. The SW half of the interior is level while the NE half slopes downwards. This may be the rath mentioned in the 1940s as being 'situated at Rathcommane' (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE058-056: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE058-056----. In pasture, on a flat area of a N-facing slope, c. 40m N of the Rathcomane-Dromdoon Beg road. This possible rath is not visible at ground level but, according to the landowner, in the summer a circle of buttercups marks its location. It is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map and as a subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 30m), open NE-E and defined by a single line, on the 1894 OS 6-inch map.

- KE058-057: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE058-057----. In pasture, on a plateau. A circular area (c. 39m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 1.8m) SSE-ESE and by a scarp ESE-SSE. The level interior, which is overgrown in places, is raised slightly in the SE sector. There is a possible entrance at WSW and a cattle gap at NW. The bank is disturbed along the W and S arcs. There is a possible souterrain (KE058-057001-) in the interior. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE058-057001: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE058-057001-. In a rath (KE058-057----). According to the landowner, a large stone at the centre of the rath reputedly covers a souterrain. There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain.

- KE058-148: Kiln - lime, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE058-148----.

An area in front of the kiln has been recently levelled, revealing large quantities of burnt material. An enclosure (KE058-032----) is c. 40m to the WNW.

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.
