- MA024-027: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA024-027----. In good pasture, situated on top of a prominent hill affording panoramic views in all directions. Not listed in the SMR (1991) or in the RMP (1995). Not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map but indicted on the 1921 edition. Oval area (9m N-S; 6.9m E-W) enclosed by a narrow wall (Wth 0.8m; max. H 0.85m) of drystone masonry. There is an opening at the base of the wall at WNW, possibly a drain. A break (Wth 0.9m) in the wall at S represents the original entrance. Inspected in 1995, this enclosure appears to be associated with a ruined farmstead, probably no earlier in date than the 18th century. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 29 January 2015
- MA024-028: Building, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA024-028----. In good pasture, situated on top of a prominent hill. Not listed in the RMP (1995). Not indicated on the 1838 and 1921 OS 6-inch maps. At this location are the sod-covered, wall footings of a small rectangular hut, with a ruined circular stone-built limekiln immediately to NW. Inspected in 1995, it appears to be associated with a ruined vernacular farmstead, probably no earlier in date than the 18th century. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 29 January 2015

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.
