On a shelf of level ground on a S-facing slope. A raised subcircular area (diam. 42m E-W; 40m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.9-1.75m) to which modern drystone-walling has been applied at SW. At the base of the scarp from WNW-N-NE and at ESE is a largely infilled fosse (Wth 4-5m; D 0.1-0.2m). A depression (Wth 4m) in the scarp at ENE with an accompanying ramp may mark the original entrance. The rath is divided into roughly equal portions by a modern NNW-SSE field boundary.

On a low knoll in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A circular area (diam. 30m) defined by a gentle scarp (H 1-1.5m), which has been incorporated into a curving field boundary from ESE-S-SSW. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 18 January 2012
- LF011-019001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF011-019001-. On a S-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a roughly circular tree-planted enclosure on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A raised subcircular area (33m N-S; 31.7m E-W) enclosed from N-S-WNW by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.5-7.4m; H 0.2-0.9m) and defined elsewhere by a low scarp (H 0.25-0.4m). The remains of possible drystone-walling are identifiable on the inner face of the bank. There is no trace of a fosse. A stone-revetted break (Wth 1.95m-2.35m) in the bank at E probably marks the original entrance. Within the NE quadrant of the interior are the remains of a possible house site (LF011-019002-).

Within the NE quadrant of the interior of a rath (LF011-019001-). A possible subrectangular house site (8m N-S; 2.8-4m E-W) noted in 1998 (SMR file) is no longer visible at ground level.

On a level shelf of ground on a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a large oval enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a large, raised oval area (c. 77m NW-SE; c. 60m NE-SW) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone. There was no trace of a fosse and the original entrance was not recognisable. The monument has since been levelled and is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 6 February 2012
- LF011-021: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF011-021----. On level, poorly drained pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 33.5m) enclosed from NNE-NE-ENE by a levelled bank of earth and stone (Wth 7m; H 0.2m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 0.5-0.7m). At the base of the scarp at NW is a shallow fosse (Wth 4.5m; D 0.15m). From WSW-W-NW the scarp has been modified and incorporated into a NNW-SSE field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 18 January 2012
- LF011-022: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF011-022----. In level damp pasture, bordered at the E and S by a forestry plantation of spruce and larch. A clearing in the plantation now encloses the S half of the rath. Depicted on the OS 25-inch plan (surveyed 1911) as a roughly oval area (c. 43m E–W; c. 31m N–S) incorporated into later field fences at W, NE and E. An inspection in 2012 found that an earthen bank curving from W–N–E is extant on the N half of the rath but the bank on the S half has been levelled. The surviving bank (Wth 3-3.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.8-2m at NE) has been modified to serve as a field boundary and is engulfed in dense overgrowth of brambles and elder scrub. Its internal slope appears to be low and broadly slumped. Externally it has a pronounced, almost vertical face, which drops into a sharply cut ditch (Wth 1.6-2m; ext. H 0.6-0.8m). The ditch serves as a field drain, continuing beyond the rath to the W and SE. It is not clear if it has cut through a pre-existing fosse. The interior of the rath is level and appears to be slightly raised above the external ground level. The N half is covered in impenetrable brambles, the S half in rough grass and a cluster of willows. A greater density of rushes marks the outer edge of the rath along its S half, where no trace of a bank or fosse is evident. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 January 2013
- LF011-034: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF011-034----. On a rise in poorly drained, rushy pasture with a stream immediately to the S. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1963 (SMR file) indicates that this monument was levelled in the early 1960s. However, the outline of its perimeter may still be traced defining a circular area (diam. c. 44m).

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.

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.
