- MA030-059: Megalithic tomb - court tomb, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA030-059----.

- MA030-060: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA030-060----. Located on a knoll in undulating pasture. This possible enclosure is shown on the 1837 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps as a roughly circular ringfort-like enclosure (diam. c. 40m, 1930), skirted by a laneway at N. At the location, there is a roughly circular hillock (diam. c. 50m) with a domed profile that rises several meters high to a narrow peak. At the top of the hillock is a shallow depression (10m N-S; 8m E-W), possibly a quarry pit. Skirting the base of the hillock at N−SE is a field bank (Wth 1.4m; H 0.5m) lined with hawthorn bushes. A dense covering of gorse, blackthorn and brambles made inspection difficult; it is unclear if there was an enclosure here. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 April 2018
- MA030-062: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA030-062----. In pasture, on the NW outskirts of Ballina town, located at N end of a small N-S ridge in an area of undulating grassland. Raised oval area (34.6m E-W; 26m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 6-7m) and enclosed by a fosse (Wth 3.7m), with an external bank (Wth c. 4m), which is evident only at W−N. Immediately to N of the rath a portion of the ridge has been deliberately scarped creating the effect of a roughly square platform or annex (25.7m NNE-SSW; c. 23m ESE-WNW) appended to the N−NE side of the rath. The inner bank of the rath is substantial, with a pronounced external slope, especially at NE-E. There is evidence of stone facing in parts along its internal slope. The fosse can be traced for the full circuit. The external bank is extant only on the NW arc; there is no trace of it at N−SE; at SSE−SSW appears to have been truncated by, or possibly partly incorporated into, a later E−W field fence. The interior has a slight slope down to SE. In the S half, close to the bank, is a depression (Diam. c. 3m; D 0.6m), which is almost entirely filled by a massive boulder. There are two gaps in the inner bank, but the original entrance is unclear. A gap (Wth 2.5m) at SE, is partly defined on N side by stones, and immediately to S of this gap, the external face of the bank is roughly faced with boulders. A gap (Wth 2.5m) in the inner bank at the N has a corresponding break (Wth 4m) in the external bank. This break occurs at the junction of the fosse and external bank with the scarp which define the ‘annex’. This ‘annex’ is defined on the S by the rath fosse, on W and N by a scarp (H 1.7m) with a slight internal rim (Wth 1.4m; H 0.2m), but on E only by the natural ridge slope. It is possible that this modification of the ridge is contemporary with the rath, but it seems more likely that it is of more recent date. Gorse, hawthorn and brambles obscure much of the enclosing elements. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 18 April 2018

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.
