On a shelf on the E-facing slopes of a drumlin. Circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. c. 30m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4-5m; int. H 0.4-0.7m; ext. c. H 1m) NW-E-SSW, which has been removed elsewhere, and an outer fosse (Wth of top 3.5-4.5m; D 0.4m generally to 0.8m at S) NW-N and E-SSW. There is an outer bank (Wth 3.8m; ext. H 0.4m) SE-SSW, but there is no visible entrance. Rath (RO012-015----) is c. 200m to the S. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

- RO012-023: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO012-023----. Situated on a rise towards the bottom of a SW-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 a circular grass-covered area (diam. 30m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at NW: Wth of base 5.5m; Wth of top 1.4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.9m) SW-W-N, which is reduced to a scarp (at E: Wth 3.5m; H 0.9m) N-E-S. The perimeter is slightly truncated by a NW-SE field bank at SW. A section of external fosse (at ENE: Wth of top 6.5m; Wth of base 1.9m; int. D 0.9m; ext. D 0.15m) survives N-E, with a causewayed entrance (Wth 4m) at NE. The fosse is replaced by a farm road which skirts the bank WSW-N, and there is a NE-SW field bank just outside the perimeter at SE. 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.
