- MA082-016001: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA082-016001-. In pasture, located close to the break of slope on the NE side of a broad plateau on a NW–SE ridge, There are excellent views to W–NW along the top of the ridge, and eastwards over a panoramic sweep of countryside. An oval area (45m NE–SW; 58.4m NW–SE) defined at WSW–NW by a low scarp incorporated into a later field wall, at N–ENE by a barely discernible levelled scarp and at ENE–SE by sod-covered wall footings (Wth 2m; ext. H 0.4m). At SSE–SW the enclosing element has been entirely levelled, although an ephemeral undulation can be traced in parts. To NW, at a distance of 3-3.5m outside the enclosing scarp, there is a slight rise which curves to NNE where it merges with the natural contours of the ridge slope. It is not clear if this is merely a natural undulation or an indication of an outer enclosing bank or wall. The grass-covered interior is fairly level. It was used as a children’s burial ground (MA082-016002-) focused on a roughly square area (c. 19m NE–SW; c. 19m NW–SE) in the SE sector.

In the SE half of a possible cashel (MA082-016001-). Indicated as ‘Caldragh Burial Ground’ on the 1838 OS 6-inch maps and ‘Caldragh (Chidren’s burial Ground)’ on the 1916 edition. A roughly square area (c. 19m NE–SW; c. 19m NW–SE) in the SE half of the cashel interior is covered in a dense concentration of small, uninscribed upright stones and low, sod-covered stony hummocks, which mark graves. Remnants of an enclosing wall (Wth 1m) define the NW side of the area. According to local information, it was in use until the mid-20th century for the burial of unbaptised babies and occasionally for older children too. A single, wind-twisted hawthorn tree, which stands on the W side of the burial ground, is known locally as the ‘umbrella tree’. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 20 December 2021

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).

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.
