- RO016-170: Mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO016-170----. First identified in an unpublished archaeological LiDAR report (Davis, 2015) commissioned by Roscommon County Council as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the N5 Ballaghaderreen - Scramoge road development. Situated in improved pasture towards the top of a N-facing slope. This is a circular, grass-covered mound (diam. 25m N-S; 23m E-W; H 0.7m). It has no defining feature such as a fosse or outer bank. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 5 August, 2016
- RO022-005001: Field system, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO022-005001-. On a gentle N-facing slope. A field with some shallow quarries, now grass-covered, has a relict field bank (Wth 3m; H 0.3m) running N-S (L 160m) with a field bank running WNW from a point 34m from its S end. There are also some E-W field banks to the NW, covering an area of c. 5 ha (c. 13 acres). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO022-006001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO022-006001-. At the bottom of an E-W valley at the N foot of Rathcroghan plateau. It is described as 'Rathlough Fort' in gothic lettering on the 1837 and 1911 editions of the OS 6-inch map. Subcircular grass and scrub-covered platform (dims 36m E-W; 29.7m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1m) NW-NE, which may be upcast from the shallow quarry to its S. Elsewhere the platform is defined by a scarp (H 0.5m at W to 1.8m at S) which is separated by an overgrown fosse (Wth of top 7-9.4m; Wth of base 3.5-4m; D 0.9-1.7m) SW-W-NE from an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5m; ext. H 0.2m) that only survives WNW-NE. There is a modern entrance (Wth 4.5m) in the bank at W, and the perimeter of the mound has been quarried SW-NW. A bronze bell was found here c. 1935 (Bourke 1980, 66) in a 'ring of stones', which may have been a house site (RO022-006002-). This is probably when the interior was quarried. Mound (RO022-007----) is c. 140m to the ESE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO022-006002: House - indeterminate date, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO022-006002-. A newspaper report (undated, c. 1935) in describing the finding of a bell at Rathlough rath (RO022-006001-) says it was found 'in a ring of stones' which is interpreted as a possible house site. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO022-007: Mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO022-007----. Marked only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the floor of an E-W valley at the N foot of the Rathcroghan plateau. Subrectangular, flat-topped and grass-covered mound (dims of top 13m WNW-ESE; 11.5m NNE-SSW; dims of base 15.8m WNW-ESE; 14.2m NNE-SSW) defined by scarps (H 0.4-0.6m). Rath (RO022-006001-) is c. 140m to the WNW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO022-008: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO022-008----. Towards the top of a gentle S-facing slope at the E end of a slight WNW-ESE ridge. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 31.2m E-W; 18.8m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1m) NE-S and by a scarp (H 1-1.3m) S-NW. It is separated by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 5.5-6.8m; Wth of base 3.5-4m; D 0.2-0.6m) from an outer bank (Wth 2.4-3.5m; ext. H 0.2-0.8m) and outer fosse (Wth of base 4-6m; ext. D 0.1-0.2m) NE-S-NW. All features have been removed by quarrying NW-NE, and faint traces of a third bank have been recorded at SE and SW (Gannon 1972). There is no identifiable original entrance (max. ext. diam. 62m E-W). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

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.
