In rough pasture, located on a low rise bordered at SW by a flat expanse of wettish pasture. Slightly raised circular area (26.8m N–S; 25.8m E–W) defined by a low earthen scarp. Outside the scarp there is ephemeral evidence that that the rath may be enclosed by at least one fosse and external bank: a band (Wth 4-4.5m) of dense rushes and irises, which appears slightly sunken (D 0.25m) on the SW arc, encircles the rath, probably indicating a fosse; outside this at S–W there is a band (Wth 3.5-4.8m) of flat, grassy ground, outside which are more rushes (Wth 4-5m) and then gently rising ground. It is possible that the flat grassy strip represents a levelled external bank, however, it cannot be traced around the full circuit of the enclosure. The rath interior has a gently domed profile, with a slope down from the centre (height above ext. ground level 0.6m at S, 0.85m at N) towards the encircling scarp. The entrance may have been at S, where there is a poorly defined slump in the scarp and a corresponding rise (Wth 4-5m), possibly a causeway, traversing the band of rushes, and leading towards gently rising dry ground. The rath is rather degraded, and is dotted with clumps of gorse and brambles. There is a field drain, on a NE–SW axis, a few meters to N of the rath. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 May 2019 - MA022-078: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA022-078----. In pasture, located in a small, shallow E-W stream valley, at the base of a gentle S-facing slope. A canalised stream/drain lies immediately to S of the rath and serves as the S boundary of the townland. On the opposite side of the stream, ground rises in a slightly steeper slope. Views are relatively open E–W along the valley, but restricted by the rising ground to N and S. Slightly raised, roughly circular area (21m E–W; 23m N–S) enclosed by a degraded earthen bank (Wth c. 3m at N, 3.6m at S; int. H c. 0.3m at N, 0.4m at S; ext. H 0.6m at N, 1.2m at S). The bank is fairly well defined on its external slope, especially on the S half, but it retains only a low internal lip, and in parts at ESE–SE and at W–NW is reduced to a low scarp. A band (Wth 2.5m) of rushes outside the bank at the NE arc may mark the line of an infilled fosse, but it cannot be traced around the complete circuit. The interior is level. There is a slight circular depression (diam. c. 2m) just S of centre. The original entrance appears to have been at E where there is a gap (Wth 2m). Grass cover, with a few hawthorn trees on the bank at S.

Detached three-bay double-height Catholic church, under construction 1837; extant 1838, on a shallow T-shaped plan centred on single-bay full-height apse (south) on an engaged half-octagonal plan. Reconstructed, 1955[?], with interior reordered. Pitched slate roof on a T-shaped plan centred on half-octagonal slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles terminating in Cross finials to apexes, coping to gables on rendered "Cavetto" kneelers, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered stepped eaves retaining cast-iron downpipes. Rendered, ruled and lined walls on rendered plinth with rusticated rendered quoins to corners; roughcast surface finish (north). Pointed-arch window openings with concrete sills[?], and concealed dressings framing storm glazing over fixed-pane fittings having stained glass Y-mullions. Pointed-arch window openings to apse (south) with concrete sills[?], and concealed dressings framing storm glazing over fixed-pane fittings having stained glass margins centred on leaded stained glass panels. Full-height interior reordered, 1955[?], with cut-white marble Classical-style wall monuments (ob. ????; ????) centred on segmental-headed chancel arch (south) framing stained glass memorial windows (undated), and exposed strutted King post timber roof construction with wind braced timber boarded or tongue-and-groove timber panelled ceiling on carved timber cornice. Set in relandscaped grounds. ## Ground and risks (Radon Risk Map of Ireland, EPA; Landslide Susceptibility Classification and LiDAR, Geological Survey Ireland) - Radon: at the centre of the townland of Coonealmore, about 1 in 10 homes in this area is likely to have high radon levels.
