- LI010-066: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI010-066----. In undulating rocky pasture, with limestone outcrops. Formerly circular area now truncated on W side by N-S field boundary. Surviving area (26.4m N-S; 20.8m E-W) enclosed NE->SW by earthen-and-stone bank (H 0.8m; Wth 6m), and defined NW->NE by scarped edge (H 4m; Wth 5m) which is covered by overgrowth. Interior, under pasture, generally flat but with some limestone outcropping. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LI010-106: Water mill - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI010-106----. 'Old Mill' now levelled which stood on E side of stream 60m W of Robertstown church and graveyard with Robertstown Castle (LI010-013----) 130m to N. A single arched bridge with flat heading opening for tail race of 'Old Mill' stands 20m to N. The 1840 OS six-inch map shows a rectangular structure in this location that is named 'Old Mill'. No structure is shown in this location on later editions of the OS map and there is no evident trace of such a structure on the ground. The 'Old Mill' stood on the E side of a stream which marked the townland boundary between Sroolane North and Robertstown. Westropp (1906-7, 242) gives the following details about Robertstown mill; '1608 Ballyrobert C[astle] conveyed by Jas. Wakeman to Sir Ric. Wingfield, of Smithstown, with a water mill, Carricke O'Ruderi, Ardenere, and part of estate of Teige mac Clansie, slain in rebellion (Rev. Exch., 1613-18, p. 1; 1623, p. 17; Inq. Chan., 6b), who held it with Cragg, 1638 (Inq. Chan., C.S., p. 94, &c). 1655 C[astle]. of Robertstown, Carrigenrudderi, mill, &c.' The 1654-56 Civil Survey of Limerick recorded that Sir Edward Wingfield was the owner of the lands of Robertstown and Garrintober which contained 'a ruined castle [LI010-013----] with two Mill seates' (Simington 1938, 327). The 'Old Mill' may have been one of the two mill sites described in the Civil Survey. Compiled by: Denis Power Revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 13 May 2020

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.
