The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.
- MA031-053: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA031-053----. In gently undulating, improved pasture. Farm buildings stand immediately to SE. This enclosure is not shown on the 1837-8 OS 6-inch map. It is depicted on the 1922 edition as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 15m) defined by a double ring of hachuring, truncated at N−NE by a road. No visible trace at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 4 July 2018
- MA040-001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA040-001----. In pasture, located on a low rise in gently undulating terrain, overlooking expanses of wet, boggy ground 50-100m to E and SE. There is a canalised stream, which coincides with the townland boundary, 15m to W. Broadly oval raised area (54m E−W; 46m N−S) defined by a bank, which is largely reduced to a scarp, outside which it is enclosed by a fosse with remnants of an external bank. The inner bank/scarp (Wth 4m at NW, 4.5m at E; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.5m at NW, 1.65m at E) has a pronounced external slope but retains only a very low internal lip. The broad fosse (Wth 4.5-5.5m; ext. D 1.2m at E, 1.4m at W, 0.75m at NW) is well defined. There are traces of a levelled outer bank on the outer edge of the fosse at SSW−N and at NE; this appears as a broad low rise (Wth 4-5m), which merges on its outer edge at W−N with the natural fall of ground. There are three broad causeways across the fosse: at SE (Wth 3.3m), SSW (10.3m) and N (4.5m). These are likely to be the result of relatively modern disturbance. The causeway at SSW opens towards a steep drop in exterior ground level, and the N causeway also faces a slope. It is possible that the original entrance may have been at the SE causeway, facing an area of level ground. The interior is level, but with a slight dip in ground level in the NW quadrant. According to local tradition, there is a souterrain (MA040-001001-) in the rath. Grass cover, with a few hawthorn trees on the perimeter at the E. Field rushes grow in the fosse on the W arc.

In a rath (MA039-001). According to local tradition, there is a souterrain (MA040-001001-) in the rath interior. No details are known about its exact location or form.

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.
