## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- CV015-003: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV015-003----. Raised subrectangular area (int. dims. c. 46mNNW-SSE; c. 38m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a substantial, although partly levelled, earthen bank and a fosse. Only the outline of the perimeter can be traced from NE-E-SE. Break in bank with accompanying causeway at NNW probably represents original entrance. A large D-shaped annex (int. dims. c. 41m ENE-WSW; c. 23m NNW-SSE), defined by a low scarp, is separated from the main body of the rath by a wide, deep fosse. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.
