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

- CV034-046008: Ecclesiastical enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV034-046008-. Located in a fold towards the top of a S-facing slope. The early monastic church and the medieval parish church of Moybologue are centred on a circular graveyard. This is at the S edge of what might be a large oval ecclesiastical enclosure (dims c. 270m E-W; c. 170m N-S), the perimeter of which could be fossilised in the road boundary that arcs past the graveyard E-S-W, including the S edge of the graveyard in its course. This is continued by a field bank curving W-NW which includes within it at this NW edge the motte and bailey (CV034-045----). The perimeter is absent NNW-NE but might follow the line of a field bank NE-E where it would meet the road. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 21 April, 2017 Amended: 19 March 2020
- CV034-048: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV034-048----. Marked 'Fort' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 23m) enclosed from S-W-N by a narrow, low bank of earth and stone and elsewhere by a stone wall. A farmyard abuts the site at W at which point the enclosing bank is identifiable only as a low scarp. A modern roadway curves around the site from WNW-N. Original entrance not recognisable. 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.
