- MA022-077: Hilltop enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA022-077----. In rough pasture, encompassing the top of a low hill with gentle slopes falling away to S, W and N, and an even more gradual incline to E. From the top of the enclosing bank there are excellent views over the surrounding grassland, and to NW of Lough Dalla, now drained and grassed over. Nephin and the Nephin Beg range dominate the far horizon to SW. Named ‘Rathnabart’ on the 1837 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps, this enclosure consists of a broadly oval area (108m NW–SE; 90m NE–SW) defined by a substantial, stony bank (Wth c. 6m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 2m, at NE). The bank is best preserved on the N half of the enclosure; elsewhere it is somewhat degraded, with eroded breaks (Wth 1.5-3m) at N, E and SW. A broad flat-based gap (Wth c. 8m), marked in parts by heavy rush growth, intervenes between the bank and an outer bank which largely respects the curve of the enclosure. This outer ring is engulfed in dense overgrowth and is difficult to examine; it is unclear if it is a primary feature as it is not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, and it is indicated on the 1929 as a series of field boundaries, incorporating the enclosure into a later field system. At SE-SW the outer bank (Wth 1.6m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.6m) has almost vertical sides and appears to be a field bank of relatively recent date, and at W–NW it is bordered on its inner edge is a deep field ditch (Wth 2-3m). At NW–NE the outer bank (Wth c. 5m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 0.8m) is noticeably more substantial. On the E side of the enclosure, the curving outer ring is replaced by a linear N–S field bank, set 12m outside the inner bank. Remnants of a laneway, shown skirting the enclosure on the 1837 OS 6-inch map, appear to survive at SE-S. The interior of the enclosure is level. It is bisected, to S of centre, by a low, gapped field bank (Wth 1.4m; H 0.5m) on an ENE–WSW axis. The interior surface is uneven and rather soft and damp underfoot, with a particularly wet area or pool (diam. c. 10m) in the NW quadrant. The original entrance is not clear but it may have been on the E side where the gentle slope of the hill allows the easiest approach. According to local tradition, this enclosure was used for markets and other large social gatherings. The 1838 OS Letters record that there ‘was a gallows here formerly, and sessions held at it, and this was the place of meeting where all the people of Tirawley convened occasionally, as tradition states.' (O'Flanagan 1927,405 (204)). Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 March 2013
- MA022-095: Mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA022-095----. In pasture, located at the NW end of a rise, giving excellent views in all directions, with Nephin Mountain and the Nephin Beg range prominent on the far horizon to SW. This mound is not shown on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps. It has been damaged, and is now evident as a roughly circular, sod-covered area of disturbed ground (diam. c. 19m; H 0.55m at SE, 1m at NW) with an uneven surface of hunps and hollows, and much angular stones protruding from the sod. According to local information, it is the levelled remains of a mound or cairn, which was traditionally known as a ‘síodan’ (SMR file: pers. comm. Jim Gilvarry 1988 & 91).

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.
