## Designated sites (National Parks and Wildlife Service)

No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Curraghlea.

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

- DG053-007: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG053-007----. Internal diam. c. 27.5m. Known locally as the 'Danes Fort' the site consists of a subcircular area enclosed by an earthen bank and an external fosse which has been reused for drainage purposes. The bank survives up to 1.25m in height on the SE side but has been almost levelled on the W and NW. A modern entrance, with a causeway across the fosse, has been built on the W side but it is not clear that this reflects an earlier feature. A field boundary with an E drain abuts the monument on the NE. The interior is used as a garden and orchard. Farm buildings and a road bound it on the W and SE and a stream on the NW. It is situated on the SE slope of Mullan Hill in good land. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

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.
