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

- CL011-024: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL011-024----. Situated c. 20m SE of a stream on a slight W-facing slope at the NW end of a NW-SE ridge in pasture with very good views from SW-N-S. A very overgrown and largely inaccessible suboval enclosure (int. dims. c. 25m NW-SE; c. 17m SW-NE; c. 40m overall NW-SE) represented by hachures on the OS 25-inch plan (surveyed 1913-18) and by just a few hachures on the OS 6-inch map (1916). The monument is mostly covered in hazel scrub and gorse but appears to comprise a central platform or mound (H at NW where exposed 2.85m), partially utilising existing outcropping rock, with a wide, deep, flat external fosse from N to S (Wth 2.1m), shallow SW to N (Wth 1.83m). An external bank extends SW-SE and is most substantial along the E side (at NE Wth 4.25m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 0.55m; at SW Wth 1.52m; int. H 0.33m; ext. H 0.65m). There is no discernible entrance although some field clearance up against the NE portion may conceal an entrance. A drystone wall abuts the site at S and seals off access into the deep fosse. This previously extended to meet the field wall at W but has been removed. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 5 October 2015
- CL011-025001: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL011-025001-. On a gentle SW-facing pasture slope. Hachured on both the first edition (1842) and later, Cassini edition (1916) of the OS 6-inch map. This almost completely levelled, circular enclosure (est. diam. c. 45m) is partly traceable in satellite imagery (Aerial Premium 2013-2018), where the SE-WSW arc of its low enclosing bank (est. Wth c. 4.5m) is faintly visible. There is another levelled enclosure (CL011-025002-) c. 8m to the SE. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 13 January 2023
- CL011-025002: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL011-025002-. On a gentle SW-facing slope in reclaimed pasture. Hachured on the 1842 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This almost levelled suboval enclosure (c. 26m WNW-ESE; c. 20m NNE-SSW) is defined by a low bank (Wth at N c. 9m; H 0.1-0.2m) and is visible in ortho photographs (OSi MapGenie 2012-2018). There is another enclosure (CL011-025001-) c. 8m to the NW. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 24 January 2023

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.
