- LI009-007: Mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI009-007----. In undulating pasture. Roughly D-shaped platform (10m E-W; 7m N-S) defined by scarped edge (max. H 1.1m). Straight side (on S side) slopes down gradually towards N bank of Glashanagark River (H c. 0.55m; Wth c. 6m) and appears to follow natural gradient. Elsewhere scarp also has appearance of natural gradient. Top of platform waterlogged. Unsure if this is natural or man-made feature. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LI009-008: Mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI009-008----. In undulating pasture, on N bank of Glashanagark River. Site depicted as oval mound (c. 10m E-W; c. 5m N-S) on 1923 OS 6-inch map could not be located in an area with many local changes in the natural gradient. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LI009-009: Cliff-edge fort, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI009-009----. In pasture, on the N bank of the Glashanagark River. A sub-circular area (31m N-S; 34.6m E-W) enclosed SW->SE by two concentric earthen banks with an intervening fosse, and defined SE->SW by a steep natural slope forming the N bank of the river. The enclosing element is most pronounced at N: inner bank (int. H 1m; ext. H 0.7m); outer bank (int. H 0.45; ext. H 0.7m); intervening fosse (Wth 2m). However, its profile is much more gradual at E and W: inner bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m); outer bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.15m); intervening fosse (Wth 2m). Causeway entrance (Wth 3.75m) at NE; cattle have eroded a path across both banks at SW. The interior slopes down to the S following the natural gradient; its surface is poorly drained. Near the centre is a waterlogged depression (diam. 1.7m; D 0.3m). The entire site is under grass but there are some trees growing along the outer 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.
