On gentle ESE-facing slope. Monument, depicted on 1841 OS 6-inch map as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m), has been levelled and dwelling house, sheds and garden now occupy site. A slightly curved earth-and-stone bank (H 1.15m; Wth 2m; C 30.5m) forming N boundary of property may be part of, or overlie part of, enclosing element. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LI019-016: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI019-016----. In pasture, on S-facing slope with terrain dipping sharply down to E into river valley, in area of outcropping limestone. Roughly circular area (27.1m N-S; 29m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank, with external fosse (Wth 2.4m; D 0.25m) N->ESE. Bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4m), best preserved W->N, lowers and becomes scarp-like at S. Bank and verge of interior have been quarried out at ENE (6.7m x 2.6m), with heap of earth and stones dumped on top of bank at NE. Interior, under rough grazing, slopes down to SE. Field boundary runs tangentially to bank along NW arc. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LI019-018: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI019-018----. In pasture, on gentle N-facing hill slope. Oval area (28m N-S; 21.2m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1.8m) best preserved at NNW but lowers at S (ext. H 0.4m). Bank, heavily masked by overgrowth, has several large stones lying edge-to-edge for c. 5m SW->W. In general bank has suffered erosion from cattle accessing interior. Break in bank (Wth 2m) at SSE. Flat interior is under rough pasture, and used as a shelter area for cattle. Loose stones scattered along verge probably derive from stone facing on bank.

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.
