- LF020-023: Burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF020-023----. On a S-facing slope. Named 'Caldragh Church Yard' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and 'Site of' on the 1914 ed. This townland was known as: 'Gleann na n-Easbog, Vallis Episcoporum, Valley of the Bishops’ and was so named because ‘it contains an old graveyard, in which, according to tradition, four bishops are buried' (OSNB, Ardagh parish, 1836-7, book 4, 51). The OS Letters (1837) refer to it as a 'churchyard’ (OSL, 39). The English form of the name 'Caldragh' derives from the Irish Cealltrach meaning ‘old churchyard’: the element ceall meaning ‘church’, but the name was generally used to refer to a place of burial. The name has also come to be associated with locations used as the burial grounds of unbaptised children. However, there is no evidence to suggest that a children's burial ground existed here. The site is occupied by a modern house. A quantity of bone was discovered during the excavation of the house foundations (local information). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan, Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 15 April 2013
- LF020-024: Castle - motte, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF020-024----. On a gentle SE-facing slope in pasture. A circular, steep-sided mound of earth and stone (H c. 4-5m; diam. at base 28m; diam. at summit c. 11m). The summit is enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 4m; H 0.5m) from ESE-S-NW, while there is a depression (2.5m; D 0.3m) of unknown significance at NW. There is no evidence of an encircling fosse or of a bailey. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LF020-025: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF020-025----. In low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 45m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.8-4m; H 0.4-0.5m) with an external fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.4m), which has been infilled at W and NW. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a wide low bank of earth and stone at the outer lip of the fosse from W-N-ENE; it has since been levelled. Elsewhere its circuit is preserved in modern, curving, field boundaries. There are entrances at WNW (Wth 2m) and at NW (Wth 1m). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LF020-046: Earthwork, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF020-046----. Cropmark of circular-shaped area (diam. c. 43m) defined by a ditch visible on Google Earth photograph taken 18/03/2009.

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.
