- MA120-077: Structure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA120-077----. Located in pasture broken by limestone karst. An rectangular stone structure (2.7m N–S; c. 1.5m E–W; H 0.7m) bounded on the W side by a sheet of bedrock, on the N by a stone (L 1.4m; T 0.35m; H 0.4m) set on edge, and on the S by two stones, which support a lintel. The E side is largely concealed by heaps of loose stone but no set stones are evident. The structure appears to be built on the ground rather than set in it. It is poorly defined and largely obscured by rubble. An inspection in 1994 concluded that it is not the remains of a megalithic tomb (pers. comm. E. Cody). The date and function of this feature are unknown and the evidence is not sufficient to warrant considering it to be of any great antiquity.

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.
