Marked as a D-shaped embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 40m N-S; c. 35m E-W) truncated by a N-S field bank at E on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a rise in an undulating landscape. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (diam. 26m E-W; c. 20m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at W: Wth 7.2m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.5m) E-S-W separated by a fosse (at S: Wth of top 6.4m; Wth of base 2.4m; D 0.7m) from an outer bank (Wth 3.5m; H 0.5m), which only survives SW-W. The original entrance is not identified. The N part of the monument is destroyed by ancient quarrying and is now overgrown. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of amended upload: 17 November, 2015
- RO051-047001: House - 16th/17th century, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO051-047001-. Located in the NW quadrant of ringwork (RO051-047002-). It may have been built by McKeoghs since land here were held by Shane McKeogh (died 1618) and in 1638 by Edmund Mc Colla McKeogh of Ardmullan (Moore 1978, 60). In 1641 Edmund Mc Colla held 150 acres at Dundonnel, most of it unprofitable, together with 64 acres at Shean, but the Dundonnel property and most of the Shean land was owned by Sir Thomas Newcommen by the 1660s (Simington 1949, 104-05). The house is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 13.9m WNW-ESE; 8.15m NNE-SSW) of three bays and two storeys with an attic surviving complete, except for much of the N wall and the quoinstones. The entrance was on the N wall and there is evidence of four destroyed lights on the ground floor and four gun-loops at the angles. The ground floor has a destroyed fireplace in the E gable but there is no evidence of a stairs. The first floor has destroyed fireplaces in the E and W gables and three windows in the S wall. The attic has two gun-loops in the E gable and a fireplace in the W (Curley 2011, 56). There are two diamond-shaped chimney-stacks on each gable and corbels from a machicolation over the NE angle. (Curley 2016, 60-1) See the attached image taken from the S. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 8 January, 2015
- RO051-047002: Castle - ringwork, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO051-047002-. Situated at the S end of a low NNW-SSE ridge in a low-lying landscape. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 48m NW-SE; 41m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 6-7.7m; int. H 0.6-0.8m; ext. H 3.2-3.8m) with traces of external facing-stones separated by a rounded fosse (Wth of top 9.8-11m; Wth of base 2-3m; D 1.8-2m) from an outer overgrown bank (Wth of base 6-6.2m; Wth of top 1m; H 0.8m) which is incorporated into a road bank NE-SE. The entrance (Wth 3.3m) and causeway (Wth 3m) are at NNE (max. ext. diam. 73m NW-SE). The late 16th or early 17th century house (RO051-047001-) is in the interior. It has been interpreted as a possible ringwork castle (Graham 1988, 28-9; Sweetman 1999, 197), and has been identified as the castle of Onagh that was built in 1236 and destroyed by Áedh O'Conor in 1270 (Curley 2011, 40-1; 2016). It has also been interpreted as a rath that was re-fortified when the house (RO051-047001-) was built (O'Conor 2007, 191-2). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 8 January 2015
- RO051-047003: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO051-047003-. Situated in a low-lying landscape. The N end (dims c. 70m NNW-SSE; c. 50m NE-SW) of the low NNW-SSE ridge on which the ringwork castle (RO051-047002-) is located at the S end has a ditch around its base as revealed by LiDAR images, which could be interpreted as a bailey (Curley et al. 26-7) or could be a drainage channel. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 11 June 2018
- RO051-102: Road - road/trackway, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO051-102----. In a low-lying position, descending from an E-W ridge at S. A N-S road (L c. 800m), which passed just E of Dundonnell ringwork castle (RO051-047001-) is thought to connect with Bellaneeny church (RO051-025001-) c. 1.1 km from its N end, and to be part of a route extending N to Dysart church (RO047-060001-). This is a modern country road, with insufficient reason to think it ancient. 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.
