- TS062-120001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTS062-120001-. In improved pasture, on a high point of the landscape, to E of a spot height (328ft). There are earthworks (TS062-120002-) to the E and S and a pond to the NW. A circular area (dims. c. 48m E-W; c. 45m N-S) defined by the remains of a bank reduced to a scarp (Wth 1.8m; H 1.3m); a fosse (ESE-S-WNW overall Wth 6.6m; basal Wth 3.1m; D 1.65m) and the possible remains of an outer bank (overall Wth 2.8m; Wth at top 0.9m; int. H 1.9m; ext. H 0.25m) at the W and ESE sectors. The fosse is wider and shallower in the SE quadrant (overall Wth 7.1m; basal Wth 2.9m; D 1.25m) and is waterlogged in the NW quadrant. There is a causewayed entrance (Wth 5.5m) at E which appears to relate to the earthwork extending eastward from the entrance. The interior is generally level with a raised oval area (long-axis c. E-W) in the N sector defined by a scarp (Wth 2.7m; H 0.35m). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS062-120002: Earthwork, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTS062-120002-. In improved pasture, to E and S of ringfort (TS062-120001-). On the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map a number of linear earthworks are depicted extending from the ringfort, including two parallel lines extending NE-SW for c. 60-65m from the E and SE quadrant, possibly representing a raised or hollow area (Wth c. 20m), which then extends NNW-SSE running c. 20m W of and parallel to the field boundary E of the ringfort. Another line representing a bank or scarp, aligned NNW-SSE, extends SSE of the S quadrant up to the S field boundary. These earthworks are depicted on the 2nd 1903-04 ed. OS 6-inch map as depression extending SE of the ringfort and a bank running SSE of the S quadrant. The earthworks are visible as a gentle, curvilinear scarp extending eastward from the ringfort which appears to relate to the causewayed entrance to the ringfort, at the base of the scarp there is a gentle depression containing a poorly drained area to the S with a shallow pond at the E end. S of the ringfort there are gentle undulations but no clearly defined features. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 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.
