Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in italic lettering as Tobermore (Spring)', and situated in a low-lying landscape. It is now occupied by a resevoir, but was also known locally as 'Tober Bríd' (Gannon 1972). It is the source of the Killegland stream, but there is no evidence that it was ever a venerated holy well. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO050-033: Water mill - vertical-wheeled, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO050-033----. A mill is marked on the Strafford map of c. 1636 towards the headwaters of the Killeglan river and above the castle (RO050-008001-) (Simington 1949, Athlone (46)). Situated on the SE bank of a loop of the stream and described as a corn mill on the 1837 and 1915 eds of the OS 6-inch map. This is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 13.65m NW-SE; 6.35m NW-SE) surviving complete to two storeys with good quoins on the SW side of the R375 Ballinasloe to Athleague road. There are two inaccessible rooms at the ground floor, each with its own doorway on the NE side, while the NW room has two sluices at the base of the W wall.

- RO051-006: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO051-006----. Marked only on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 45m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW), and situated on a low-lying landscape at the S edge of a basin. This is a D-shaped grass-covered platform (dims 37m N-S; 15m E-W; H 0.2m at N to 1.3m at E) with traces of the facing-stones of a wall (Wth 1.2m) visible at the edge of the platform at E. The platform is truncated by a NNW-SSE field wall at W and a NE-SW field wall at S, and overlain by a N-S farm track. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO051-021: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO051-021----. Marked only on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30-35m), and situated on a shelf at the W foot of Sheep Hill. It is not visible at ground level in pasture but was probably a rath. Ring-barrow (RO051-022----) is c. 100m to the E. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO051-023: Cross - Wayside cross, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO051-023----. Marked on the Strafford map of c. 1636 at the W boundary of Onnagh (Simington 1949, Athlone (120)), and situated at the SW foot of Sheep Hill. This is a limestone cross facing N and S (total H 1.75m) with a solid ring which has decoration in false relief. The S face of the shaft (dims 0.3m x 0.18m; H 1.15m) has and inscription with the date 1623 and several sets of initials. It was read by Crawford (1919a) as: IHS / IK AD / AD 1623 / HT / CRUX / CRISTI / HW / - -, and Siggins (1986b, 35) reads the last unknown letters as D C. The cross is in a drystone-wall enclosure (dims 3.2m E-W; 2.5m N-S), but it is now obscured by thorn bushes. The ring-barrow (RO051-022----) is c. 80m to the NNE.

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.
