The Department of Communities publishes maps of the industrial heritage of Northern Ireland here.

the maps include information about.
This is defense heritage that is information relating to WW1, WW2, the Cold war and the Troubles. Most of it is WW2 and mainly centred around airbases. The table widget in the picture allows you to view the raw data the map is based on and you can filter the data. Below is a subset that shows cold war Royal Observer Core (ROC) sites. They are described in the table and their condition is indicated.
The tables or filtered subsets of the tables can be exported as CSV, Json or GeoJson files that can be imported into Software including Basecamp and Google Mymaps.
For Garmin devices data from the site can be downloaded onto the unit as Custom POI's via POI loader.
And it retains the information for the site that you have selected from the CSV that you imported. This example works for defence heritage but would equally well work for sites and monuments i.e. Cashel's Souterrains and Megaliths of which we have many.
The site also has historical mapping. Could this Ford (beside my aunt Lizzy's old mill be the longest in the UK and Ireland at 1 Mile??

A network of 1,518 underground monitoring posts were built across the UK to house the volunteer staff from the Royal Observer Corps (ROC), who, in the event of a nuclear attack, were tasked with recording the blast yield, location and drift of radioactive clouds caused by the detonation of Soviet nuclear weapons. There were 59 of the small underground posts evenly distributed across Northern Ireland. A crew of three could operate for three weeks. Their results would have been transmitted to a regional ROC group headquarters, which for N. Ireland was the 31 Group HQ (DHR 310) in Thiepval Barracks, Lisburn.
