In pasture, on a hillock overlooking a steep fall of ground NW−NE. Slightly raised circular area (6.4m; H 0.1m at SW; 0.35m at NW) defined by a poorly defined, silted-up fosse (Wth 2m at S 2.4m at E) with an external earth and stone bank (Wth 1.7m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m at S, 0.5m at NW). Overall diam. (crest of ext. bank): 13m. The bank is incorporated into a field fence at NNW−E and is overlain by remnants of another field fence at SE and SW. Ringed with hawthorn, blackthorn and hazel trees. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 December 2021
- MA081-032: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA081-032----. In pasture, located on ridge with good views NW−S. Rising ground to SW. There is a farmyard immediately to NW. A slightly raised subcircular area (diam. c. 26m) defined at SSW−W by a slight scarp (H 0.20m), truncated at NW−N by a silage pit. The E arc is incorporated into a curving earth and stone field fence (H 0.8-1m), topped by thorn bushes, which may preserve an original bank. A straight fence, on a NE−SW axis, truncates the SE−S edge of the enclosure. The interior is level and moderately strewn with stone. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 December 2021

Located 7.5m to ENE of a court tomb (MA081-033----). A massive capstone (1.1m NNW-SSE; 1.55n ENE-WSW; T 0.35m) resting on two side stones that barely protrude above ground level, enclosing a sunken area (1m E-W; 0.5m N-S; D 0.24m) partially filled with small field stones. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 December 2021
- MA092-005: Barrow - embanked barrow, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA092-005----. In rough/average pasture, straddling the gentle N-facing slope of a rise. The slope dips into a natural depression of wet ground beyond which ground rises again to a low ridge on the top of which a ring-barrow (MA092-006----) is visible c. 250m to NNW. There is a farmstead 30m to SSW. A slightly raised, circular area (9m NE–SW; 8.5m NW–SE) defined by a bank (Wth 2.7m, int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.35-0.4m at SW, 0.55m at NE) of earth and stone. The bank is most substantial on the E arc –it may have been incorporated into a now levelled field fence on this side. At W–NW it has a broad external slump. The interior slopes down gently to NE. Grass cover, with a clump of brambles in the centre, and hawthorn bushes on the perimeter. There is a mound (MA091-109----) 220m to E. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 February 2022
- MA092-006: Barrow - ring-barrow, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA092-006----. In pasture, located on a NW–SE ridge, at the break of slope on the SW side where the slope falls steeply to an expanse of wet ground, beyond which a possible embanked barrow (MA092-005----) is visible on a rise c. 250m to SSW. There is a megalithic tomb (MA092-007----) 200m to NE. Circular platform (5.4m NE–SW; 5.3m NW-SE) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 1.4m at NE, 1.7m at SW) with a broadly slumped external bank (Wth 3.6m at NE, 4. 8m at SW; int. H 0.35m at NE, 0.8m at SW; ext. H 0.1m at NE, 1.4m at SW). The platform has a very slight central depression. The external bank is topped with stones at SE and SW. Grass cover, with two hawthorn bushes growing on the perimeter. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 February 2022
- MA092-007: Megalithic tomb - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA092-007----. In pasture, on elevated ground with extensive views to NE, and good views to SW, restricted elsewhere by undulating terrain. There is a ring barrow (MA092-006) 200m to SW, a rath (MA092-008) 140m to SE, and a court tomb (MA081-033) and cist (MA081-033001) 290m to NE. Not shown on the 1838 and 1917 OS 6-inch maps. The remains consist of a setting of three upright stones. Two parallel side stones, on a roughly ENE-WSW axis, are set 1.4m apart; the N stone is more deeply sunk in the ground and leans to N. A little to E of these two stones, is a perpendicular upright, possible an end stone, which leans slightly to NE. The interior area is gently raised, stony and grass-covered. Total length c. 3m NE−SW. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 February 2022
- MA092-008: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA092-008----. In the NE corner of a modern rectangular field, undulating pasture, straddling the N slope of a low rise, with very good views, especially extensive to N–NE towards Poolboy Lough which is c. 550m to NE in a boggy basin. Oval platform (46.5m NE–SW; 36.9m NW–SE) defined by a scarp (H 1-1.2m), which retains a low internal lip (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.3m) topped with stone at E−SW. The scarp is noticeably slumped at E and there is a low/eroded section at N, but the location of the original entrance is uncertain. The S and E portion of the interior is level, with occasional stones protruding from the sod. The SW quadrant is at a slightly higher level, with several stones protruding apparently randomly around it, and there is a slope down in the NW–N quadrant. The scarp at N–ESE is incorporated into a later field boundary and is faced with drystone walling, now largely tumbled. A field wall on a NW–SE axis slightly truncates the scarp at S–SW. A field boundary which lay immediately to W of the rath has been removed. Grass cover, with clusters of hawthorn bushes around the perimeter. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 February 2022
- MA092-109: Mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA092-109----. In grazing pasture, located on a rise in undulating terrain. This possible barrow is not shown on any edition of the OS maps. The remains consist of a low, circular platform (diam. 6m; H 0.3-0.4m) with a hint of a raised outer rim. It appears to be primarily earthen in composition. A single hawthorn bush grows at the SSE edge of the platform, at the base of which is a concentration of small, angular stones, most likely field clearance. An embanked barrow (MA092-005----) located c. 250m to W is visible from this site, and c. 300m to NNW there is a ringbarrow (MA092-006----).

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.
