- MA080-026001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA080-026001-. Within a graveyard (MA080-026002-) located on a low knoll with a steep slope W–NW. This medieval parish church, probably dating to the 15th/16th century, is named ‘Kilkinure Church’ on the 1838 and 1919 OS 6-inch maps. It survives as a ruinous rectangular building (c. 7m N–S; c.18.25m E–W) with walls (T c. 1.1m) constructed of mortared, random sandstone rubble, incorporating large, squarish blocks interspersed with horizontally laid slabs. The N wall no longer stands and much of its line is overlain by 19th- century graves. The NE angle stands to a height of c. 3m. The S half of the E wall survives only as wall footings, incorporating at the SE angle a tree stump. The E half of the S wall stands to a height of c. 2m; the W half of the S wall no longer stands, although wall footings may survive at the SW angle. The W wall stands to a height of over 3m externally (c. 2m int.). No windows or doorways survive. There is a recess (H 0.6m; Wth 0.45m; D 0.48m), lined with large stone slabs, at the E end of the N wall. In the internal face of the W wall, there is a row of five putlog-holes at a height of 1m above present ground level. The interior of the church has an uneven surface, and is densely covered by graves and loose rubble. Some graves overlie the foundations of the N and S walls. A rectangular grave plot (4.5m N–S; 3.75m E–W) of the modern era is appended to the external face of the S wall. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 November 2021
- MA080-026002: Graveyard, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA080-026002-. In undulating pasture, c. 500m to SW of Kiltimagh town, located on a low knoll with a steep slope W–NW. The earliest part of the graveyard encompassed the top and slopes of the knoll where the medieval church (MA080-026001-) is located. It is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an irregular-shaped enclosed area accessed at SE by a narrow lane. In the late 19th- /early 20th-century the graveyard was extended to the SE and later in the 20th century it was extended further to the NE and E. The oldest part of the graveyard is densely covered with graves, aligned E–W, many in close-set N–S rows. The majority consist of horizontal, uninscribed stone slabs with associated headstones. Many of the headstones are roughly shaped, and uninscribed. The inscribed headstones mostly date to the 19th century, with one possibly dated to the late 18th century. Many 20th-century graves are intermixed with the earlier graves. The ground surface is uneven, and to W and NW many of the graves are terraced into the natural slope. The graveyard was gravelled over in the late 20th-century. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 November 2021
- MA080-026003: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA080-026003-. The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV).

- MA080-055: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA080-055----. In lowlying wet pasture, which was subjected to land reclamation and drainage in the late1980’s. This fulacht fia was discovered in 1988 during reclamation works. A drainage trench was dug across the short axis of the mound, damaging the stone-lined trough. It consisted of a semi-circular mound (14m N–S; 6m E–W; H 0.7m) of burnt stone, burnt clay and black soil. Some of the stones (c. 1m x c.0.6m) which lined the trough were displaced, and it could be seen that they were heavily coated on one face with burnt clay. (SMR file, 1988).

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.
