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

- CL017-037: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL017-037----. Near the bottom of a NE-facing slope, in improved pasture. Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Also hachured on the intervening, larger scale OS 25-inch plan (1897) which records a subcircular enclosure (est. diams. c. 38m E-W; c. 33m N-S) defined by an enclosing bank from SW-W-N and at SE. Elsewhere, the enclosing element is shown to be a scarp. When inspected in 1999, no visible surface traces were obvious. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 20 July 2023
- CL017-041: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL017-041----. On a gentle E-facing slope in pasture. Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Named ‘Lios Bhetty’ on Robinson’s map of the Burren (1977). Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This well-preserved, hazel-covered subcircular rath (int. dims. 31.2m N-S; 28.2m E-W; ext. dims. 51.6m N-S; 45m E-W) is defined by an inner bank, an outer bank and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (av. Wth 4.5-5m; int. H 0.5-0.8m; ext. H 1.1-1.4m) is lower (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.7m) from N-E-SE and there is a stone spread on it from ENE-ESE. From ESE-SE there are traces of inner facing-stones on the bank. The generally round-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 1.2-2.2m) is deeper (D 1.2m below top of outer bank) along the W-half of its circuit, and much shallower (D 0.2-0.5m) around the E-half, where its outer edge is lined with field stones. Stones have also been dumped into the fosse on the W. The outer bank (Wth 5m; ext. H 0.6m) is traceable only along the N with its probable circuit overlain by a later field wall (Wth 0.4m; max. H 0.5m) elsewhere. The rath entrance (Wth 3.6m) is at ESE, and is lined by rough and probably later drystone walls (Wth 1m; H 0.4m) of quite large boulders, and field stones of a similar size are dumped in the fosse to the S of the entrance.

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.
