- RO021-023001: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO021-023001-. Marked only on the 1929 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gently undulating low-lying landscape. Circular grass-covered and domed mound (diam. 41m N-S; 39m E-W; H 0.6m at W to 1.4m at S), which may be natural, defined by a fosse (at E: Wth of top 4.6m; Wth of base 2m; int. D 0.3m; ext. D 0.4m; at S: Wth of top 8.4m; Wth of base 4m; int. D 0.7m; ext. D 0.3m) NE-E-SW. The fosse is represented by a band of rushes (Wth 2-4m) elsewhere, and there is an outer bank (Wth 3-6m; ext. H 0.1-0.2m) ENE-SW. There is no identifiable original entrance. Archaeological monitoring of the widening of a NE-SW drain 5m to the NW revealed a stone lintel bridge (RO021-023003-) (Wth 2.5m; H 1; L 1m) which is post-medieval leading into the enclosure (Lavelle 1993). John O'Donovan writing c. 1837 listed a church site (RO021-023002-) in Killaster (O'Flanagan 1931, 41) and this site is locally regarded as one, although it is unlikely.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
