- MA006-010: Promontory fort - coastal, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA006-010----. Situated in an area of undulating bog and mixed quality pasture along the coast of N Mayo. The large fortified promontory in Conaghra (MA006-001001-) is visible to the N, and sheer cliffs partly surround the site on three sides. A sub-circular NW-facing headland with a very narrow neck shows slight traces of having been fortified. A natural crevice across the neck seems to have been deepened into a fosse and traces of a collapsed revetted wall lie 40m to the S. The interior is featureless and much of it has recently slipped into the sea. It had not been previously recorded. It is one of three promontory forts (MA006-008---, MA006-009----) along this N facing stretch of coastline and is 400m west of MA006-011001-. These descriptions are derived from the MA thesis of Markus Casey 1999 The coastal promontory forts of Ireland. A survey of counties Sligo, Mayo, Galway and Clare. Unpublished MA thesis, National University of Ireland, Galway. In this instance the entry has been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 5 December 2018

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.
