On a gentle WSW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) noted that this slightly raised circular area (diam. 41.7m) was enclosed by a bank of earth and stone with an external fosse. The bank has since been levelled but its outline and that of the infilled fosse are visible from ENE-S-NNW. It is divided by a NNW-SSE field boundary. The area to the NE of this is further divided by an ENE-WSW field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

On a steep SW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 33.4m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.2m; H 0.35m max.). There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

In low-lying, reclaimed pasture. A report in 1977 (SMR file) recorded a raised subcircular area (c. 24m E-W; c. 22m N-S) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 November 2011

On a gentle NE-facing slope in pasture. A raised subrectangular area (32.2m NE-SW; 25.65m NW-SE) enclosed by a partially denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.5m; H 0.1-0.9m) with a deep, partially waterlogged external fosse (Wth 4.5m; D 1.3m). It has been levelled from NNE-E-ESE where it is bordered by a modern roadway. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

On a gentle SE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 33.2m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone with a wide, deep, external fosse. The bank and fosse have been substantially modified and incorporated into a field boundary from SE-S-NW. Elsewhere they have been levelled but their outlines (Wth c. 4.8m and c. 4m respectively) are still identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.

- LF015-077: Excavation - miscellaneous, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF015-077----. Circa 50m to the W of a ringfort (LF015-050----). A pre-development archaeological assessment prior to development works near Edgeworthstown and subsequent excavation in 2004 revealed two charcoal-filled pits (Wth 0.45m; D 0.12m; Wth 0.8m; D 0.2m respectively) (OCarroll and Gilligan 2004, 10; OCarroll 2007, 250).

- LF015-092: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF015-092----. In undulating pasture with good views in all directions. This possible enclosure was discovered in 2013 during the course of a review of LIDAR data where it is visible as a low circular bank-like feature (diam. c. 27m) (pers. comm. Dr Steve Davis, UCD). The monument has been levelled but the outline of a shallow circular depression marks its site. No other features are visible. A ringfort (LF015-047----) and an enclosure (LF015-093----) lie c. 90m to the WNW and SSE respectively. The attached LIDAR image is uploaded courtesy of Dr Steve Davis.

- LF015-093: Ringfort - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF015-093----. On a low rise with good views in all directions. Discovered in 2013 during the course of a review of LIDAR data where it is visible as a raised area (diam. c. 45m) with an external fosse (pers. comm. Dr Steve Davis, UCD). The raised subcircular area (diam. 44m E-W; 40m N-S) is defined by a low scarp (H 0.2m) with the remains of a waterlogged external fosse (Wth 4m; ext. D 1m), now re-used as a field boundary, from SW-W-N. No other features are visible. Possibly a levelled ringfort. A possible enclosure (LF015-092----) lies 80m to NNW and a ringfort (LF015-047----) 160m to the NW. The attached LIDAR image is uploaded courtesy of Dr Steve Davis.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.
