- SL005-012: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL005-012----. Situated on summit of E-W orientated ridge, on slight SE-facing slope, in pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 24m) defined by a stone bank (Wth 5m; int. H 1.5m). No fosse visible. From SW-SE the bank has been largely removed leaving a low broad bank of stone (Wth 5m; H 0.2m). From SE-SW, the bank has been reconstructed to form a larger bank to act as a field boundary. A N-S orientated field wall lies on top of the bank WSW-WNW. An E-W orientated field wall abuts the external side of the bank at N. A N-S orientated field wall lies on top of the bank NE-SE. A break (Wth 4m) in the bank at NW marks the position of the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
- SL005-013: Earthwork, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL005-013----. Situated on summit of SW-NE orientated ridge, on slight SSE-facing slope, in pasture. Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map but depicted on the 1912 edition as a small circular hachured area (diam. c. 6m). No surface trace of an archaeological feature is visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
- SL005-014: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL005-014----. Situated on a slight SSE-facing slope, overlooking lower ground to S, in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 20m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.85m). No fosse visible at ground level. The inner face of the bank has been reconstructed as a drystone wall of limestone rubble (Wth 0.6m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 0.1m). Modern drystone field walls (orientated NW-SE) link to the external side of the bank at NNW and at SE. A break (Wth 2.2m) in the bank at ENE, now blocked by modern drystone walling, marks the position of the original entrance. A modern break (Wth 1.4m) in the bank and the internal wall at NW allows access to the interior. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

---

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.
