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

- CV017-041: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV017-041----. Located on a shelf on the SW-facing slope of a drumlin, where it is overlooking an E-W section of the Annalee River which is c. 250m to the S. This is a raised circular and overgrown area (diam. 34m E-W) that slopes down to the S. It is defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 5.2-6.1m; int. H 0.3-0.4m; ext. H 2.7m at E to 3.3m at W) with some trees that is separated by an outer flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 6.1 at W to 8.2m at E; Wth of base 1.4-2m; ext. D 1.4-1.8m) from an outer flat-topped bank (Wth of base 4-5.5m; Wth of top 1.3m; ext. H 1.5-1.7m). The entrance through the inner bank (Wth of base 2m) and a causeway (Wth of top 2.8m; H 0.2m) are at SSE, but a gap through the outer bank (Wth of base 1.2m) here is for drainage to a field drain outside the outer bank SE-SW. This suggests that outer bank might not be original. This is a National Monument in state ownership (NM00585) and it is accessed by a path from the R188 Cootehill to Cavan road c. 350m to the E, and along the N side of a field bank. 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 revision: 27 July 2018
- CV017-042: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV017-042----. Situated on top of a drumlin. It is depicted as an embanked enclosure described as a 'Fort' on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a small circular copse on the 1908 edition. This is a raised circular and grass-covered area (diam. 29.2m) defined by an earthen bank (at SW: Wth 1.7m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) and hedge, with an outer fosse or drain at NE. There are two breaks in the bank at W (Wth 6m; 2m) leading into a path between earthen banks and hedges that extends off to the SW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 30 September 2020
- CV017-043: Standing stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV017-043----. Situated on a SE-facing slope in 1990 (SMR file). This is a narrow stone (dims of base 0.43m x c. 0.1m; H 1.83m) aligned NW-SE and leaning severely to one side. There is a small hole (diam. 3.5cm) penetrating the stone 0.35m from the top and another hole (diam. 3cm) on its crest. The stone may have served as a gatepost at one time, and it had been removed by 2000 (OSAP). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 5 October 2020

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).

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.
