- RO011-066: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO011-066----. Towards the top of the SE-facing slope of a small NE-SW drumlin ridge. Oval scrub-covered area (dims 41m E-W; 30m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4.8-5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.8m) NW-NE and a scarp (H 0.5-1m) elsewhere, separated by a fosse (Wth of base 2-2.75m) from an outer bank (Wth 2.95m at SW to 3.8m at N; int. H 0.35m at S to 1.4m at N; ext. H 0.6-1m), which is incorporated into a field bank NW-E. There is no visible entrance. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO011-161: Mass-rock (present location), https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO011-161----. The mass rock from Knockananima (RO011-167002-), c. 1.2km to the N, was incorporated into the original altar of the Roman Catholic church of Drumlion at Drumercool when the church was built in 1856 (Keenehan et al. 2006). It can be seen protruding from the back of the altar. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO011-171: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO011-171----. Situated In improved pasture on a very gentle N-facing slope. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is a small oval area (dims 17m E-W; c. 14m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at ESE: Wth of base 4.3m; Wth of top 1.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.25m) and outer fosse (at ESE: Wth of top 3.2m; Wth of base 1.4m; D 0.15m) NE-S-NW, but the perimeter is reduced to a low scarp (at N: Wth 3.2m; H 0.55m) NW-NE. There is no visible entrance. Despite its small size it may be a rath. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 12 May, 2015

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.
