At N end of low rise, in undulating pasture. Oval area (23m N-S; 28.3m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1m) NE->SE and SW->NW, and defined by scarped edge (H 2.8m; Wth 9m) SE->SW and NW->SE. Interior level and under pasture; according to local information contains a souterrain but there is no evident trace of such a feature. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LI018-004: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI018-004----. In undulating pasture, on N flank of low rise. Circular area (diam. 30.7m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.65m) with external fosse (Wth 2.3m; D 0.8m), with short arc of external bank at NW (int. H 0.75m; ext. H 0.6m). Enclosure bisected, on N-S axis, by farm trackway raised c. 0.3m above level of interior. Section of interior to W of trackway almost entirely obscured by overgrowth of trees, bushes and brambles. At NE is causeway entrance (Wth 1.6m). Field boundary abuts enclosing element at SE. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LI018-007: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI018-007----. In rough pasture, on N-facing brow of E-W ridge; land immediately to S recently planted with coniferous trees. Monument, depicted as circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. According to local information enclosing element was dry-stone built and was levelled c. 1970 during land reclamation. Area now strewn with loose stones and dumps of field-clearance material. Short arc of dumped material (roughly in position of NW arch of enclosure) may include or overlie original enclosing walling. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LI018-008: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI018-008----. On S-facing brow of E-W ridge. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been almost completely destroyed by extensive drain excavation for forestry plantation- area now planted with young coniferous trees. Short arc of bank (L 5.2m; H c. 0.6m), densely overgrown with gorse and brambles, may be part of NW arc of enclosing element. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LI018-009: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI018-009----. In rough pasture, at E end of low hill. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, is now bisected by E-W field boundary. No visible surface trace of enclosure on S side of field boundary; this area has been reclaimed by insertion of drains for coniferous plantation. On N side of field boundary arc of partially levelled earthen bank (H c. 0.4m; Wth c. 2m) survives W->E, accentuated by lighter-coloured grass growing on it. This encloses D-shaped area (24m E-W; 18m N-S). Interior, raised slightly above level of surrounding area, has uneven and stony surface covered by tall grass and brambles. Short distance (c. 8m) N of enclosure land falls away steeply. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LI018-120: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI018-120----. In level tillage. In ploughed field a ring of lightly coloured (yellow/brown) stony soil with band of darker soil along its outside edge can be made out enclosing circular area (28m N-S; 30m E-W). This pattern suggests remains of a ploughed-out circular enclosure in which the enclosing element consisted of a bank with an external fosse. From N->E, along line of lighter soil, a slight rise is evident (H c. 0.15m). Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

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.
