- RO021-069002: Road - road/trackway, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO021-069002-. On a level landscape. At the S edge of the field system (RO021-069001-) there is a WNW-ESE roadway (Wth 6-8m; surviving L c. 200m) defined by earth and stone banks (Wth 1.5-2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.6-0.8m). A drystone wall and townland boundary with Gortnasillagh is its N perimeter. It is indicated as extending c. 300m further W on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and it would have met road (RO027-013----) c. 350m E of the surviving section. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO021-069005: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO021-069005-. On a level landscape. There is local knowledge of a church site S of the roadway (RO021-069002-) in an area which is now reclaimed, and a feature like a church building can be seen on aerial photographs (ACAP: V205/11-12). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO027-013: Road - road/trackway, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO027-013----. Marked for some of its length at the N end (L c. 1km) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as an 'Old road', and visible as an interrupted linear feature (L c. 4.1 km) on aerial photographs (ACAP: V205/10-11). Situated on a high plateau, sloping down to the S and W, it may have been part of an old road from Rathcroghan to Castlerea, linking up with the section (RO021-042014-) in Glenballythomas, c. 2 km to the N. This section runs from the road-junction at Gortnasillagh/Ballooney at the NE end to Lisalway cross-roads at the SW end. It traverses three WNW-ESE ridges and it would have met the road at Gortnasillagh/Glenvela (RO021-069002-) c. 1km from its own NE end. At the N end it is removed close to the junction but can be traced as a grass-covered band (Wth c. 4m) with strips of lusher growth (Wth 1-2m) on either side. About 300m from the junction one bank (Wth 3m; H 1m) can be seen as a field bank with a drain (Wth of base 1.4m; D 0.4m) on its SE side (L c. 300m). Near Lisalway cross-roads it is visible as a grass-covered carriageway (Wth c. 3m) with earthen banks (Wth 3-4.5m; H 0.2-0.4m) at either side (L c. 300m). Further N it is visible as a grass-covered berm (4m; L c. 150m) defined by a scarp (H 0.2m) on the NW side. In Glenelva, N of the public road it is bounded by a field wall on the SE side which crosses to the NW side c. 500m from the public road where it is a grass-covered berm (Wth c. 3m) defined on SE by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; H 0.5m) with an outer drain.

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.
