- WX052-011: Ritual site - holy well, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX052-011----. Situated on a level landscape. A well is depicted on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map at Genstown and is described in gothic lettering on both as Trinity Well. According to John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 the pattern, which had been held on Trinity Sunday (the first Sunday after Pentecost), had been discontinued since c. 1800 (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 201). There is no evidence of a well or local knowledge of one in a poorly drained area. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 18 February, 2014
- WX052-042: Concentric enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX052-042----. Situated on a level landscape. The cropmark of a bivallate circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 45m; ext. diam. c. 80m) defined by a wider inner fosse feature (Wth c. 3m) and slighter outer fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (ASIAP (3) 33-37). There is a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 30m NW-SE; c. 15m NE-SW) defined by a slight fosse feature inside the inner enclosure, No entrances can be detected, but a drain or narrow stream connects the defining features radially at NW and a similar feature connects them at SSE and extends further in this direction.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

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.
