- SL012-037001: Ringfort - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL012-037001-. In pasture, located on top of a hill overlooking the junction of the Carrowcor River and the Dunneill River at base of the W slope of the hill. The W slope of the hill has been partly quarried away. Oblong area (38.5m N–S; 26.5m E–W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.9m at N, 3.5m at S; int. H 0.6-0.75m; ext. H 1.7m at N, 1.2m at S. A gap (Wth 3.2m), slightly off-centre to S on the E side, probably represents the original entrance. In the N half of the interior, close to the bank at E, there is a possible subcircular hut site (SL012-037002-). In the SW quadrant of the interior, remnants of a low bank (Wth 1.3m; H 0.2m) extend from the enclosure bank at W for 8m into the interior to SE. This may be part of a structure (SL012-037003-) built against the enclosure bank. There are also traces of a possible E-W division in the S half of the interior but, at the time of visit, the remains were obscured by long grass and difficult to interpret.

In a possible rath (SL012-037001-). In the N half of the rath interior, close to the bank at E, there is a possible hut site (SL012-037002-). It consists of a subcircular area (diam. 5m) defined by a low bank (Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.3m). Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 July 2013

In a possible rath (SL012-037001-). In the SW quadrant of the rath interior, remnants of a low bank (Wth 1.3m; H 0.2m) extend from the rath bank at W for 8m into the interior to SE.

In pasture, situated on top of a N–S ridge, close to the break of slope on the SE side. There is a gentle fall of ground towards a stream c. 50m to E, and a steeper fall of ground at S. Raised circular area (20m N–S; 22.4m E–W) enclosed by a bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.5-1.8m, at N) of earth and stone. Stones protruding from the external face of the bank may be remnants of stone facing. The interior slopes down from N to S. There is a shallow depression in the S half. There is a possible entrance through the bank at NW. A possible enclosure (SL012-043002-) is located immediately to W. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 3 May 2013

In pasture, located on a level terrace on a N-S ridge, bounded by a steep fall of ground on S–W, with a rath (SL012-043001-) located immediately to W at a higher level on the ridge. Shown on the 1913 OS 6-inch map as a hachured arc curving S–NW. Remnants of bank curving in a shallow arc S–NW can be discerned beneath dense overgrowth, possibly representing the W side of an originally circular enclosure (diam. c. 15-18m).

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.
