- MA119-023: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA119-023----. On a slight elevation in lowlying, rolling grassland. Views restricted to E now by high field fence. Circular area (36.3m N−S; 35.6m E−W) enclosed by two banks with an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 4.5m, at S, 3.8m at N; int. H 0.4-0.4m; ext. H 1.5m) is well defined, interrupted by several eroded breaks/low areas. The fosse (Wth 5-5.5m) has a broad flattish base. The outer bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 0.35m, at S) is well preserved at ESE−NNW, but is reduced to a slight rise at N−E; a field fence on a NE−SW axis merges with its outer slope at NNW−N. The entrance is at E, where there is a gap (Wth 3.5-4m) in the inner bank, eroded now on the S side, and causeway (Wth 4m) across the fosse, with a corresponding gap, now poorly defined, in the outer bank. The interior of the rath is relatively level, with a slight slope down at E towards the entrance. The banks are lightly ringed with ash, hawthorn and crab apple trees, and there is a dense tangle of brambles and hawthorn in the fosse at NW and NE.

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.
