- MA060-027: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA060-027----. In pasture, located on a drumlin, which provides good views in all directions. When inspected in 1984, this rath consisted of a subcircular area (33m N−S; 30m E−W) defined by of two low banks with an intervening fosse. At SW−NW the outer bank was incorporated into a N−S field fence, and at NW−NE the fosse and outer bank were truncated by an E−W field fence. The interior sloped gently down from W to E. The rath was subsequently levelled, and when inspected in 1994 there were no above ground remains, except for possible remnants of the outer bank incorporated into the field boundary at W.

- MA070-061: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA070-061----. In pasture near the SE end of a ridge, with excellent views throughout. An oval-shaped area (int. diams. 33m E-W; 26m N-S) is defined by the remains of an inner and outer earthen bank with an intervening fosse. The inner bank (int. H 0.7m; Wth 6m; ext. H over base of fosse 1.7m) is best preserved along the N and has been reduced to a scarp (H 2.7m) along the E and S. The fosse (Wth 3m) is traceable from SSW-N-SE but has been dug away at S. The outer bank is poorly preserved, only surviving along the SW (int. H over base of fosse 0.5m; Wth 6m; ext. H 1.5m) and at N. The interior is featureless and slopes down slightly towards the S.

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.
