Situated on a low rise in gently undulating pasture, with a gentle fall of ground for c. 60m to W to the Dunowla River. This enclosure is shown on the 1913 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 20-25m). It has been levelled and is visible only as a slightly raised roughly circular area (diam. c. 18m). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
- SL018-021001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL018-021001-. Situated on a rise in pasture, with a gently fall of ground for c. 40m to E to the Dunowla River is c. 40m E. Raised circular area (42.5m N-S; 41.4m E-W) enclosed at NNW-S by a very low bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) which may have been faced with stone. At SSW-NW the bank is incorporated into, or replaced by field fence which marks the boundary between Dunowla and Doonbeakin townlands. At the outer foot of the bank at ENE-SE there is a terrace (Wth 2.5-3m) in the slope of the naturally-occurring rise, bordered on its outer edge at SE by a short length of bank (L 6m; Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.85m). These features may represent remnants of a fosse and external bank. Within the interior, which slopes down from centre to E, are two possible houses (SL018-021002-; SL018-021003-) and a possible hut site (SL018-021004-). Compiled by: Patrick F.

In a rath (SL018-021001-), built against the inner face of the rath bank at S. Slightly raised rectangular area (10.6m E-W; 7.8m N-S) defined on W, N and E sides by a low bank (Wth. 2.8m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m), and on the S side by the rath bank. There is another possible house (SL018-021003-) immediately to NE, and a possible hut site (SL018-021004-) to N. Compiled by: Patrick F.

In the S half of the interior of a rath (SL018-021001-). Subrectangular area (4.6m N-S, c. 15m E–W) defined at N by a low bank (L c. 15m; Wth 3m) which extends E to meet the inner face of the bank at SE. A low bank also defines the W side and the SW corner. It may represent the remains of a house but it may simply be the remnants of an internal division within the rath. It abuts the NE side of another possible house (SL018-021002-), and there is possible hut site (SL018-021004-) to NW. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

In the NW quadrant of a rath (SL018-021001-). This possible subrectangular hut site (c. 5m E-W; 4.1m N-S) is defined by a low bank (Wth. 1.6m; H 0.2m) on the S, W and N sides and is open on the E side. Attached to its N side is a slightly raised area (5.3m N–S; c. 5m E-W). There are two possible house sites (SL018-021002-;SL018-021003-) to S and SE, respectively. Compiled by: Patrick F.

Situated on top of an E-W ridge in pasture. Raised subcircular area (29m N-S; 25m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.25m at NW, 1.5m at SE) with traces of internal stone facing at N. From WSW-WNW the bank has been modified and incorporated into a modern NNW-SSE field boundary. At the outer foot of the bank from SE-SW is a fosse (Wth 2m) with an external bank (c. 4m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.2m). The external bank has been modified and incorporated into a modern ENE-WSW field boundary. Elsewhere fosse and outer bank are absent. There are breaks in the inner bank at NE (Wth 2m) and E (Wth 2.5m), both of which seem to be of relatively modern origin. A short distance W of the centre of the interior is a subrectangular area defined by a low bank, possibly a house (SL018-23002-). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

At a rath (SL018-023001-). A short distance W of the centre of the rath interior is a subrectangular area defined by a low bank (Wth 1.7m; H 0.3-0.4m), possibly a house. It is subdivided into a slightly deeper, subcircular area at the S end (6m E-W; c. 5.8m N-S) and a rectangular area at the N end (7.6m N-S; 3.8m E-W). Compiled by: Patrick F.

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.
