- SL007-048: Barrow - mound barrow, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL007-048----. Located on the narrow summit of a steep-sided hill which rises on the S side of a promontory jutting into the Atlantic. The hill provides extensive views, including Ben Bulbin and the Dartry Mountains at ENE-E, and Knocknarae and the Ox Mountains at SE–S. To W and NW there are views out to sea. Sod-covered, circular mound (overall diam. 7-8m) with a flat top (diam. 2-2.5m) and broadly sloping side (H c. 1-1.2m). An E-W earth and stone field bank (Wth 1-1.2m; H 0.5m), topped with post and wire fencing, overlies the mound to S of centre. There is an upright, concrete trigonometrical station on a concrete base on the flat top of the mound, immediately to N of the field fence. A slight depression is evident at the base of the mound at SE and also at W. The mound barrow is not shown on the 1837 and 1913 OS 6-inch maps, but the location is marked on both maps as a trigonometrical station. There is a promontory fort (SL007-001001-) c. 400m to NW.

- SL007-057: Signal tower, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL007-057----. Situated to the W of the summit of a low hill (58m OD). The ground slopes down moderately to the W and rises moderately to the E. The surrounding area consists of enclosed pasture. The site has unobstructed views in all directions, except to the E which is partly blocked by the summit of Knocklane Hill. The largely intact Carrowmably Signal Tower (SL012-008003-) to the SW cannot be seen from the site because its site is obscured by intervening forestry. Streedagh Signal Tower SL005-0201----) to the N has been demolished and can no longer be seen from the site. This site at Knocklane Hill, Ballineden, is located c. 397m ESE of a coastal promontory fort (SL007-001001-) located at the tip of Cooladoon or Dooneragh Point. An early nineteenth-century two-storey square-plan signal tower, built with roughly coursed limestone rubble (int. dims. 4.35m NW-SE x 4.32m NE-SW; wall T 2.77m). Only the semi-basement level and the lower courses of the ground floor level of the signal tower now survive upstanding. The entire first floor and roof levels are collapsed\demolished, and the semi-basement level is now almost entirely infilled with soil and some rubble. The walls face NE, SE, SW and NW respectively. The SE wall features an external bulge that would have incorporated the chimney flue. Internally, the SE wall features the lower parts of a fireplace with flanking alcoves. Each of the alcoves features a square chute that passes through the body of the wall, close to the top of the surviving sections. A square section vertical drainage channel runs down the NW corner of the SE wall. This is believed to have brought rainwater from the roof to storage barrels in the semi-basement. The W corner of the tower features a square section vertical hole running vertically through the body of the wall. The purpose of this feature is unclear, but it may have also been used to bring water from the roof to the semi-basement. These features allowed for the signal tower to be orientated; the first floor door would have been located on the NW wall, the NE and SW walls would have featured pairs of windows on the ground floor and first floor levels, and the SE wall would have featured fireplaces on the ground floor and first floor levels. The remains of the tower are not surrounded by any accumulation of rubble indicating the rubble had been removed from site for use elsewhere. The signal tower was part of a system of over 80 signal stations constructed by the British Board of Ordnance in the first decade of the 19th century to warn of the approach of a French invasion fleet. Signalling between sites was accomplished using a naval signal post. The system formed a continuous chain from Dublin Bay running clockwise all the way around the coast to Malin Head in County Donegal. It was abandoned by the mid-1810s when the threat of a French invasion diminished (Kerrigan 1995, 157-66).

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.
