In reclaimed pasture, an enclosure (LI040-059----) lies 110m to the NW. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Small circular cropmark (Site No. 040240) identified during examination of aerial photographs (BGE 1/50000 2552) taken 03/11/1984 on Bórd Gáis Éireann Curraleigh West-Limerick gas pipeline. No surface remains visible on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12. Faint trace of circular cropmark on Google Earth orthoimage dated 25/03/2017.

In reclaimed pasture, in the townlands of Ballincolloo, Ballynamona and Gormanstown, associated with a barrow complex (LI040-061002/016-). Not marked on OSi historic maps. Identified as cropmarks of a possible medieval settlement (Strip Map 5, Site 5/7) during examination of aerial photographs (BGE 1/50000 2553) taken 03/11/1984 on the Bórd Gáis Éireann Curraleigh West-Limerick gas pipeline. Linear cropmarks perpendicular to each other are visible on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12 and on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-13. Linear cropmarks visible on aerial photographs may represent drainage or land reclamation works associated with the landscaping of the lands of Ballincolloo House and Greenpark House. These cropmarks were tentatively identified as possible settlement earthworks associated with Gormanstown Castle (LI040-066003-) 1.6km to the E. However they are more likely to represent drainage channels associated with post-medieval land reclamation rather than the remains of medieval settlement or a pre-1700 field system. Clearly visible as water filled channels on the Goofle Earth orhophoto taken 16/03/2016. See attached Google Earth orthoimages. Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 28 April 2021

In reclaimed pasture, immediately N of townland boundary with Ballynamona, within a field system (LI040-061001-), N of barrow complex (LI040-061002-/061009-). Depicted on the Cassini ed. OSi 6-inch map as a small circular platform (diam. c. 15m) defined by a scarp. Monument described by O'Kelly (1944, 52) as a ring-barrow; ‘This structure is part of the above complex but is separated from the other monuments by the townland boundary. It is a very low mound surrounded by a slight fosse outside which there is a definite bank, and outside that another fosse. The max. height of the bank is 1’ 6” [0.48m] and the overall diameter is 60’ [18.2m]. The structure is somewhat larger than the usual barrow of this type in the barony. It is possible that it is a small fort but the continuous fosse seems to indicate otherwise”. Monument visible as a circular-shaped area defined by overgrown fosse on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimages dated 24/09/2018 and 14/09/2019.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
