- RO011-018: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO011-018----. On the NNE-facing slope of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. Oval grass-covered area (dims 26m ENE-WNW; 19.3m NNE-SSW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.7m at ESE to 5.7m at SSW; int. H 1m generally to 1.3m at SSW; ext. H 0.8m) ESE-S incorporated into a field bank S-WSW and by a scarp (H 1.3-1.6m) elsewhere, with an outer fosse (Wth of base 2-2.2m; D 0.5m) S-WSW. There is no visible entrance. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO011-174: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO011-174----. Located in 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 now a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 28m NE-SW; 24m NW-SE) defined by a scarp SE-S-NW that increases in magnitude from SE (at S: Wth 1.5m; H 0.1m) to NW (at WNW: Wth 2.8m; H 0.3m). The monument is truncated at NE by a NW-SE land-drain that borders a disused section of the N4 road, which has the modern carriageway beyond it to the NE. There is no visible fosse or entrance.

- RO011-175: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO011-175----. Situated in improved, undulating pasture, near the top of a small NE-SW drumlin ridge. 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 circular grass-covered area (diam. 24m NW-SE; 22m NE-SW) defined by a slight scarp (at E: Wth 2.8m; H 0.4m) NNE-S, which is barely traceable WSW-NNE. The perimeter is truncated by a NW-SE field bank at SW and cannot be traced S-WSW. 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.
