- SL013-008: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL013-008----. Situated on a low rise in undulating pasture close to the S shore of Sligo Bay. This site has been levelled. Remains comprise a slightly raised circular area (diam. 20m) defined by an artificial scarp (H 0.1m - 0.5m) except at SW where the defining element is a naturally-occurring rise which has been scarped (H 1.5m). At the upper edge of the scarp at SE are the remains of a low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 2m; int. H 0.2m - 0.4m). Elsewhere this has been levelled. No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable.

- SL013-009001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL013-009001-. Situated on a low rise in poor pasture. Raised circular platform (diam. 28m) atop a very high, steep-sided mound of earth and stone (H 5m). The platform is enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth. 2m; int. H 0.55m - 0.9m). Between the outer foot of the bank and the edge of the platform is a narrow berm (Wth. 1.5m - 2.5m). At the foot of the mound is a fosse (Wth. 4m; D 1.1m) with a substantial outer bank (Wth. 6m; ext. H 1.7m). Fosse and outer bank have been levelled at S. Outer bank has been incorporated into a NE-SW field boundary from NNE-E-ESE. At SSE is a ramped causeway which extends from the wide entrance gap (Wth. 4m) across the fosse. The internal area slopes appreciably from W-E. Tradition of a souterrain at this site (see SL013-009002-). A short distance W is the remains of a disused field system (see SL013-009003-).

- SL013-009002: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL013-009002-. There is a local tradition of a souterrain at Dunmoran rath (SL013-009001-). This was not precisely located. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
- SL013-009003: Field system, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL013-009003-. Situated in proximity to Dunmoran rath (see SL013-009001-). The first feature is located a short distance SW of the rath. It comprises a small, naturally-occurring, wedge-shaped rise whose NE side has been faced with stones. Between the rath and this feature is a terrace (Wth. 4m) aligned roughly NW-SE which appears to mark the site of an old field boundary. The antiquity of these features is uncertain.

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.
