- MA012-004001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA012-004001-.

- MA012-004002: Children's burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA012-004002-. Situated close to the base of a steep WNW mountain hillside. To the E is the imposing sight of Benmore Mountain. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as ‘Grave Yard’ and on the 1921 edition as ‘Children’s Burial Ground’, it consists of a raised subcircular area (12.2m NNE-SSW; 10.9m WNW-ESE) enclosed by a low, grass-covered bank of earth and stone. A stream skirts the N half. Within the interior are several small, low cairns of small to medium-sized stones, probably marking graves. There are also a number of low, uninscribed upright stone grave-markers. The largest (H 0.8m; Wth 0.2m; T 0.12m) of these is immediately inside the bank at ESE. Neary (1913-4, 24) suggested there may have been a church here, but there is no evidence to confirm this. Compiled by: Paddy O'Donovan and Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 14 November 2017

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.
