- KD027-008: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD027-008----. Near the foot of a gentle N-facing pasture slope. Shown on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map as a square enclosure (est. ext. L c. 50m; Wth c. 50m). Described in 1972 (SMR file) as a densely overgrown L-shaped earthwork consisting of an inner bank, a wide deep fosse and a second, outer bank. The remains of the monument, possibly a moated site, were subsequently levelled, but an L-shaped vegetation line of lush grass (c. 25m E-W; c. 12m N-S), probably indicating the line of an-infilled fosse, was visible at ground level in 1986 (SMR file). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 30 August 2012
- KD027-009: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD027-009----. In undulating pasture. Shown on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map as a C-shaped area (est. max. 45m N-S) defined by a bank and open to the E; probably the W-half of an originally circular enclosure.

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.
