OSi 6-inch map Described by Westropp (1916-17, 470, 475, 494) as following; ‘On a conspicuous rounded hill, scarred by a great red quarry and guarding the mouth of the pass between Kilfinnan and Ardpatrick, stand the fort of Cahir Mortell. This “mote” is a strong, well-preserved ring-fort, and was an actual cathair or ring-wall, but based on a mound or earthen platform. Little of the stonework remains save some of blocks 18 inches [0.45m] square and large ones 2 feet 6 inches [0.79m] by 3 feet [0.91], near the gateway. The fort has an outer ring once mainly of stone, 3 feet [0.91] to 4 feet 6 inches [1.4m] high over the field, 14 feet [4.26m] to 10 feet [3.04m] wide. The fosse is usually 12 feet [3.65m] wide below and 18 feet [5.4m] to 20 feet [6.08m] at the field. It is 8 feet [2.4m] deep, the central ring rising over it 18 feet [5.4m] to 20 feet[6.08m] high to the west and north. The crowning wall was 12 feet [3.65m] to 18 feet [5.4m] thick; the garth measures 68 feet [20.72m] east and west, 81 feet [24.68m] north and south inside, or 96 feet [29.26m] to 105 feet [32m] over the wall. It has a noble view up the pass, and of Seefin and Slibah riach, Kilfinnan with its mote, and the endless plains below. The gateway was to the east, with a gangway 6 feet [1.8m] high, 25 feet [7.26m] long, and 10 feet [3.04] wide, built of very large blocks, perhaps taken from the wall in later days; many are over 4 feet [1.2m] long. The gate was about 5 feet [1.52m] wide; portions of old piers are traceable.

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.
