- WM027-037: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWM027-037----. Situated on gentle E-facing slope, in undulating pasture, with extensive views to N, E and SE. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as an oval-shaped earthwork. Bivallate enclosure described in 1971 as an oval-shaped area (dims. 35m NW-SE; 30m NE-SW) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The substantial inner bank is badly eroded by livestock at SE, WSW and NW. A deep U-shaped intervening fosse and an outer bank are visible from SE-S-W-N. A gap (Wth at top 6.7m; basal Wth 3.5m) in the inner bank at ENE presumably represents the entrance. The interior has a gentle ENE-facing slope. There is a large quarry hole outside the monument at NW, which is also depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. According to a subsequent field report from 1977, the monument has recently been defaced by bulldozing and large gaps have been cut in the bank at E and W. Some sandy soil has been dumped into the fosse at N and into an old quarry hole at NW. The interior has mostly been bulldozed and only a small segment in the N and S sectors remain undisturbed. Levelled monument is barely visible today as an oval-shaped cropmark on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 06 November 2019
- WM027-037001: Hut site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWM027-037001-. Situated on gentle E-facing slope, in undulating pasture, with extensive views to N, E and SE. Monument described in 1971 as located in the NW quadrant of a ringfort (WM027-037----) there is a subrectangular-shaped house site (dims. L 2.2m; Wth 2.6m) defined by a slight earthen bank (H 0.45m). The S end of the house site is open. A subsequent field report from 1977, describes the interior of the ringfort as having recently been bulldozed and only a small segment in the N and S sectors remain undisturbed. No surface remains visible today of levelled ringfort or house site on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 06 November 2019
- WM027-044: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWM027-044----. Situated on a slight SE-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture, with good views to NE and SE. Annotated 'Fort' on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map and depicted as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork delimited by a bank. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a suboval-shaped earthwork. Levelled monument described in 1971 as a subcircular-shaped area (dims. 36.5m N-S; 33m E-W) enclosed by faint traces of a low earthen bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.3m; overall Wth 5m; Wth at top 1.3m) with traces of an external fosse (overall Wth 4m; basal Wth 1m; D 0.15m). A modern fence running NW-SE skirts the outside of the bank from S-W. The original entrance is not recognisable. Levelled monument is visible today as a subcircular-shaped cropmark on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 06 November 2019

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.
