- MA073-059001: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA073-059001-. Located, in an area of average pasture, on an elevation with a fall of ground on the N–E side, at the base of which is a stream. It is overlooked to SW by a hill. The enclosure is incorporated into the immediate surrounds of a farmstead, and the interior is used as a vegetable garden. Slightly raised, roughly D-shaped area (25.3m NNE–SSW; 25.3m ESE–WSW) enclosed in an irregular curve by a drystone wall at NE–NW and on straight side to N by a stone-built field wall on a WNW–ESE axis. The enclosing wall (Wth 1.5-1.8m; ext. H 2.3m at NE, 1.35m at SE) at NE−S forms a facing on a scarp cut into the natural slope; the exterior wall face is roughly constructed of random rubble, with projecting kinks in parts which suggest phases of modification or rebuilding. The wall rises only 0.4m above interior ground level at NE and the top of the wall is flush with interior ground level at SE. According local information, the enclosing element at the SW–W originally consisted of a stone-faced earthen bank but was rebuilt in the 20th century as a wall (Wth 0.7m; H 1m) and there is a drystone wall (W 1.3m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1m) at W-NW. A narrow gap at SSW was enlarged in the 20th-century and fitted with a gate (Wth 3m) which now provides access to the level interior. There is a row of conifers just inside the wall at E–S. According to local information fragments of iron slab have been found in the interior, the greatest concentrations occurring close to the enclosing wall at S. There are three clearance cairns (max. dim. c.2m; H 1m) in a N–S row in the centre of the interior. A ruined farm shed abuts the cashel exterior at NE. The enclosure is known locally as ‘cashleen’ and there is a tradition that the interior was used as children’s burial ground (MA073-059002-).

- MA073-059002: Children's burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA073-059002-. In a possible cashel (MA073-059001-). There is a tradition that the cashel interior was used as children’s burial ground. According to local information, a feature was uncovered slightly W of centre in the cashel, which had the appearance of a grave. It consisted of a row of flat stones, aligned roughly E–W, with a low upright stone at one end. The upright stone (Wth 0.4m; T 0.15m; H 0.10m) was left in situ but the flagstones were removed. Underneath was a shallow layer of damp soil of a different consistency to the soil elsewhere in the interior. This layer overlay natural gravel subsoil; no bones were found.

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.
