- MA039-085: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA039-085----. In lowlying pasture bordering the E shoreline of Lough Conn, which is 160m to W. Immediately to E of the enclosure there is an expanse of wet pasture. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked ringfort-like enclosure (diam. c. 20m), with the bank at S coinciding with the townland boundary; on the 1930 edition the E side is bordered by a N−S field boundary. Slightly raised roughly D-shaped or subrectangular area (c. 20-25m N–S; c. 18m E–W) defined in a shallow curve at S–NW by a low sod-covered wall (Wth 1m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.65m), which becomes a gently curving stone faced scarp (H 0.4m) at NNW–NE. The enclosure appears to have been truncated on the E and S sides, which are straight and defined by field fences. The interior, which appears to be level, is obscured by an impenetrable thicket of thorn bushes and brambles. Another enclosure (MA039-086----) is located c. 135m to SSW.

- MA039-087: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA039-087----. In pasture, located on a low N–S ridge, providing fine views to W over an expanse of flat wet land bordering the E shoreline of Lough Conn, which is 300m to W. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 19m E–W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.6m at SE, 3.4m at NW; int. H 0.4m at SE, 0.6m at NW; ext. H 1.3m). A stone kerb is evident on the internal face of the bank. A gap (Wth 2.6m) in the bank at E may be the location of the original entrance. The bank is ringed with hazel, blackthorn and brambles; a thicket of brambles obscures the N half of the interior. At S an E–W field bank abuts the external face of the bank. A post and wire fence lies immediately outside the bank at E and N, and conifer trees line the fence on the N side. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 1 April 2020

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.
