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

- DG053-059: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG053-059----. Located in a field of flat, damp rush-grown pasture, which is traversed by field drains, in an area of lowlying terrain bordering the S bank of the River Swilly. The steeply rising slope of a NE−SW ridge borders the S side of the field, c. 30m S of the enclosure. Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Visible as a circular feature (diam. 35-38m) in aerial imagery (Digital globe; Google earth) and in Lidar imagery. The imagery suggests the presence of a levelled circular enclosure. In the field a subtle rise is evident, which differs from the rest of the field in that it is largely devoid of field rushes, the grass growth has a slightly richer hue and the ground surface is drier underfoot. However, the full circular outline of an enclosure cannot be confidently traced at ground level. The E side of the area is defined by a slight raised grassy linear feature (Wth c. 2m; L c. 12m NNW−SSE). A field ditch (Wth 2m; D 0.8-1m) on a roughly NE-SW axis cuts across the N edge of the area, probably clipping the enclosure. Notified to NMS by Jean-Charles Caillère.

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.
