- LE022-005: Cliff-edge fort, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLE022-005----. Situated at the outer edge of a shelf of rock outcrop on a S-facing slope. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 33.5m E-W; 21.5m N-S) defined by a cliff at S (H c. 8m), by an earthen bank (Wth 5-7m; int. H 0.4m at N to 1.2m at E; ext. H 0.3m at N to 1.8m at E) NW-N-SE and a partly rock-cut fosse SW-N-SE that is most massive at W (Wth of top 12.5m; Wth of base 2.2m; int. D 2.2m; ext. D 2.4m) and E (Wth of top 9.5m; Wth of base 3.5m; int. D 1.8m; ext. D 2.2m), but is very slight at N (Wth of top 10m; Wth of base 4.5m; int. D 0.3m; ext. D 0.2m). The entrance (Wth 5m) is at N. St Patrick's holy well (LE022-015----) is c. 15m to the SE, across a NE-SW public road. John O’Donovan writing in the 1830s identified Cromlin with the location of the pagan idol known as Crom Cruach. The image was reputedly destroyed by St Patrick, after which he conducted baptisms at the well (Herity 2012, 397-8). The source, the Tripartite Life, is unreliable, and Dalton (1921-4, 33-36) places the location of Crom Cruach in a hilltop enclosure (CV013-022----) in Co. Cavan, which seems more reasonable. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 26 January 2017
- LE022-006: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLE022-006----. Located on the floor of a small NE-SW valley. This is an overgrown circular platform (diam. 25m NW-SE; 24m NE-SW; H 1.4m generally to 2m at SW, downslope) surrounded by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 5.4 at NW to 9m at SE; Wth of base 2-3.5m; ext. D 0.8-1.1m) NW-SE and by a berm (at SW: Wth 5m) elsewhere. A leat runs from the fosse at SW, but an original entrance is not identified. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008

Located c. 5m S of a NE-SW road and on the E side of the N-S Castlerogy stream, which is c. 65m distant. A crude setting of stones defines a small well (dims 0.7-0.9m; max. H 1.2m), known locally as St Patrick's Well, beneath a large tree. The well is now dry and no longer venerated but the dedication to St Patrick had been recorded in the 1830s by John O’Donovan, who identified Cromlin with the location of the pagan idol known as Crom Cruach. The image was reputedly destroyed by St Patrick, after which he conducted baptisms at the well (Herity 2012, 397-8). The source, the Tripartite Life, is unreliable, and Dalton (1921-4, 33-36) places the location of Crom Cruach in a hilltop enclosure (CV013-022----) in Co. Cavan, which seems more reasonable. The cliff-edge fort (LE022-005----) is just across the road to the N from this holy well.

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.
