OSi 25-inch map depicts a bank from S-W-NW and field boundary at E. Monument visible as faint trace of semi-circular shaped cropmark, at rear of new dwelling on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018. Could be the remains of a ringfort reused as a designed landscape feature associated with Clorane House. See attached Google Earth orthoimages Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 23 March 2021

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.
