Described in 1840 as following; 'a very remarkable stone called Gearán Bán, that is White Horse, i.e., equus albus, which is seven feet high, four feet broad and one foot thick, being nearly perpendicular' (OSL, Parish of Fedamore). Site of standing stone described in 1943 as following; 'O'Donovan gives this townland as the location of a standing stone which he says was called Gearán Bán. It was 7' [2.1m] high by 4' [1.2m] wide by 1' [0.3m] thick. The stone has since disappeared and its site is not known' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 222).

Described in 1840 as following; 'There are five forts in Ballyea Townland, one of which is called Rath na Gréine (LI022-139----), which signifies the Rath of the Sun. Here is a spring well called Tobar Rath na Gréine, that is the Well of the Rath' (OSL, Parish of Fedamore). Site of well described in 1943 as following; 'O'Donovan mentions a well called Tobar Ratha na Gréine, which, he says, stood beside a fort called Rath na Gréine. The fort exists, but the well has disappeared' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 222). Well depicted on 25-inch OS map 30m S of ringfort (LI022-139----) known as 'Rath na Gréine' and immediately N of the Camoge River is probably the site of the well called 'Tobar Ratha na Gréine'.

In elevated pasture with excellent views in all directions. Identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1987 and listed for deletion in Bruff files. The site was subjected to archaeological testing by Rose M. Cleary (Licence No. 05E981) when it was described as following; ‘Site 22:214 was recorded by the Archaeological Survey as an enclosure and initially detected from aerial photographs. It is now not perceptible on the ground. Test excavation established an enclosing ditch on the site and uncovered the upper surface of a small pit. Both the ditch and pit are of unknown date’ (www.excavations.ie, Site No. 984; Cleary 2008, 245). Surveyed by ASI in 2000 when no trace of the enclosure was visible.
