- RO017-131: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO017-131----. On the NW-facing slope of a broad, low drumlin. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 50m N-S; 50m E-W) with mature trees defined by an earthen bank (at W: Wth 6.5m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.9m; at S: Wth 8.3m; int. H 1.15m; ext. H 1.7m) ENE-S-W which is reduced to a scarp (H 1.3-1.7m) elsewhere. This is separated by a complete fosse (Wth of top 8-9m; Wth of base 4m at N to 7m at S) from a second bank (Wth 7.5m at ENE to 9m at S; int. H 1.05m at N to 1.9m at S; ext. H 1.4m at W to 2m at S). A second outer fosse (Wth of top 6m; Wth of base 3.5-4m; D 0.2m at E to 1.1m at S) is visible E-SW. There is an entrance through the inner (Wth 2.2m) and outer (Wth 1.5m) banks with a causeway (Wth of top 3m; H 0.6m) at W, but there may have been another entrance through the inner bank (Wth 5m) at N. An ENE-WSW wall with Cloonahee House and its outhouses beyond it truncates the outer bank slightly at N. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO017-214: Structure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO017-214----. On a gentle W-facing slope and at the W angle of a walled garden attached to the 19th century Cloonahee House that replaces an older house associated with the Conroy family, although the tower is older than the present house and walled garden. The tower is a diamond-shaped structure of four storeys (int. dims 4.15m NE-SW; 4m NW-SE; H 11m). Access to the ground floor, which contained a bench of garderobes on the NE wall over a SE-NW stream, was by a doorway on the NW wall, and it was accessible only to those outside the garden. Access to the other floors was by a doorway (Wth 1m; H 1.8m) in the NE wall placed c. 1m over the present ground level of the walled garden and only available to those in the garden. Access to the upper floors was by an internal wooden ladder through trapdoors. The first and second floors have a rectangular window (Wth 0.7-0.8m ; H 0.9-1m) on each wall but the third has simple lights (Wth 0.1m; H 1-1.1m) over an external string-course. The parapet has simple crenellations, and the tower was restored in 2007 with a flat roof. There is a graffito scratched in the plaster of the NW wall of the first floor. It depicts a woman (H 0.4m) wearing a crown and smoking a long-stemmed clay pipe, with the inscriptions overhead '1794' and 'Mrs. J. (F?) Hazleregtio (a?)'.

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.
