- MA074-002: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA074-002----. In rough, rocky pasture, interspersed with area of wet, boggy ground, situated on a low rise, with very good views in all directions. A ruined vernacular farmstead lies adjacent at W. Raised circular area (c. 34m N–S; 33.4m E–W) enclosed by the remains of a substantial drystone wall. The wall has collapsed to a largely sod-covered, broad stone bank (Wth c. 6m; int. H 0.2-0.5m; ext. H 2m at NE, 2.5m at N), with a low internal lip and a pronounced external slump. Within the mass of stone tumble, intact sections of the external wall face can be seen at N and NE, surviving to just a few courses in height, and at SSE where a larger section (L 6m; H 1.6m) is preserved by a vernacular stone-built shed (3.2m NW–SE; 3.5m NE–SW), now ruined, which was built against the wall face. The original width of the wall is uncertain, possibly 2.5-3m wide. A gap (Wth 2m) in the wall at SE, now partly blocked by boulders, may be an original entrance; a large stone on the N side of the gap may be part of an original facing. The interior slopes down slightly from centre to S. A low sod-covered wall (Wth 0.4-0.6m; H 0.4m) crosses the interior centrally on a NNE-SSW axis. There is a small hollow (diam. c. 0.8m; D 0.4m), partly infilled with stones, in the NW quadrant. A laneway, associated with the farmstead, skirts the cashel at W–NE, and later field walls abut the cashel wall at SE and S–SW. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 31 May 2021
- MA074-003: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA074-003----. In rough, rocky pasture, encompassing a lowlying hollow overlooked to NE by a hillock. Subcircular area (40.6m N–S; 37m E–W) enclosed by a drystone wall (Wth 0.8m; max. H 1.6m), The wall is constructed of random medium-sized, horizontally laid blocks and slabs with some larger stones evident in the basal course. It appears similar in size and construction technique to adjacent field walls, which abut the enclosure at N, E, and SW. It is partly tumbled in places, and largely covered in brambles, ivy and hawthorn. The interior is fairly level and grassy, and is not raised above external ground level but encloses a natural dip in ground level. A rim (Wth 4m E–W) of raised ground borders the inner face of the wall at W. There is an entrance gap (Wth 2.4m) at the NNW, facing rising ground; it is bordered on the W side by a large boulder.

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.
