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

- CV021-070: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV021-070----. Although levelled in 1952, the outline of the enclosing elements can be distinguished for a short stretch at SW. From earlier descriptions (OPW 1968 and 1970) it would appear that the site comprised a slightly raised oval area (int. dims c. 32m NNW-SSE; 24.5m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a slight earthen bank and a fosse. Original entrance may have been at SSE. 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
- CV021-071: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV021-071----. Levelled in 1952. Earlier reports (OPW 1969 and 1970) recorded that it comprised a raised circular area (int. diam. 33.6m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a fosse. During levelling operations, very large stones were found in the outer face of the bank (local information). Original entrance was not recognisable. Not visible at ground level. 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

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.
