The interior of the site is strewn with rubble limestone that is concentrated into thirteen low cairns (av. dims. Wth base 2m; H 0.3m) There are also five roughly rectangular quarried limestone blocks (L 0.6m-1m; 0.25m-0.35m square) strewn in no clear order. Site is known locally as an infants' burial ground.

Situated in level pasture. The site has been partially levelled. Remains comprise a circular slightly raised area (dims. 32m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by a low broad bank of earth (Wth 6.5m; int. H 0.2m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The edge of the site is defined by a scarp (ext. H 0.2m) where the bank is absent SE-SW. The original entrance is not recognisable.

On level pasture at the base of an E-W ridge. It is not marked on the 1837 edition. Marshy ground, marked by an extensive spread of rushes, now marks the site of a pool of water which is marked on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Ó Nualláin (1989, 95) recorded a rectangular area (dims. c.3m x c.2m) covered by stones up to 0.6m in maximum dimension. He believed that this was unlikely to represent the remains of a megalithic tomb. Only a few isolated stones, forming no discernible pattern, are now identifiable. Compiled by: Patrick F.

Situated on slight rise in gently undulating pasture. Raised, roughly circular area (dims. 31m E-W; 35m N-S) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 7.55m; int. H 0.45m) with a fosse (Wth 5.2m) and an external bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.65; int. H 1.4m). A break (Wth 4m) in the internal bank at ESE, with a causeway across the fosse and a corresponding gap (Wth 8m) in the external bank, marks the position of the original entrance. Two linear quarries are located on the SE side of the site; one at the inner foot of the internal bank and one in the base of the fosse. The site is divided into two equal portions by an E-W drystone field wall. The remains of a souterrain (SL013-015002-) extends from the inner face of the internal bank at W.

Extending into the interior of Sheeanmore rath (SL013-015001-) from the bank at W. The souterrain has been dug out. Remains comprise a vertically sided, flat bottomed, trench (L12m; Wth top 2.5m; D 0.8m) orientated NW-SE and and crossed near the NW end by a drystone field wall that divides the interior of the rath.

Situated on slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture to the N of Sheeanmore Hill. Field system is shown on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a series of curving field boundaries. Two elements of the field system are most prominent. The first is a relic N-S orientated gently meandering boundary (L c. 250m) consisting of an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.2m; H 0.3m-0.5m) with a slight fosse/drain (Wth 0.5m; D 0.3m) on the E side. At the S end of this boundary, a series of E-W orientated boundaries are indicated on the OS 6-inch map but these have been levelled and are not visible at ground level. The second prominent element is a curving E-W orientated boundary (L 60m) linking to the W side of the main N-S boundary consisting of a relic low earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; H 0.3m) that lies on the top of a slight N facing natural scarp. The field system extends south into the archaeological complex on Sheeanmore hill (SL013:012002-; SL013-012003- and SL013-012004-).

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.
