In level tillage at the N-foot of the Redhills. A heavily overgrown, circular area (diam. 31m) is defined by a substantial earthen bank (int. H 0.9-1.8m; Wth 5.5m at W-7m at E; ext. H 2.8m), and by an outer fosse (Wth 1.2m; D 1.1-1.8m) SSW-N-SE, which is partially dug out to form a livestock watering pond at E, and which is disturbed by a minor road skirting the monument SE-SSW. A shallow drain (Wth 1.2m; D 0.2-0.4m) is dug inside the bank along the S. A gap in the bank at ESE (Wth 5m) may be an enlarged original entrance, and while there is no corresponding causeway, the fosse is partially dug out in this area. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 02 December 2011
- KD022-009: Barrow - ring-barrow, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD022-009----. Prominently sited on the Redhills, in mixed pasture and tillage, with panoramic aspect in all directions except to the W where higher ground rises less than 50m away from the monument. A low but well-defined, sub-circular, multivallate ringbarrow with three enclosing banks and two intervening fosses (ext. diams. 45.3m E-W; 41m N-S). A relatively small, sub-circular, central area (diams. 7m N-S; 6.5m E-W) is defined by a low, earthen, inner bank (int. H 0.2-0.3m; Wth 2.5m at N-5.1m at E; ext. H 0.3m), a shallow fosse (av. Wth 2m; D 0.2m), a middle bank (int. H 0.2m; Wth 3m at S-6m at E) which has been seriously poached by livestock SW-W-NW, a second fosse (av. Wth 2m; D 0.3m), and by a third, outer bank (int. H 0.3m at N-1m at W; av. Wth 6.5m; ext. H 0.3-0.6m). The monument is virtually covered in thistles. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 05 December 2011

On a gentle, W-facing slope in improved pasture. Not recorded on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map, but shown on the latest ed. (1939) as a dashed line defining a semi-circular area (est. diam c. 35m NE-SW) NE-E-SW on the SE side of a field boundary. When visited in 1987, the field boundary had been levelled and there was no visible surface trace of the associated feature to its SE (SMR file).

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.
