## 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 Tircallan.

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

- DG069-039: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG069-039----. Located in pasture, on a low flat-topped elevation with a gentle fall of ground to an area of damp ground at W and N. It is overlooked c. 300m to E by a high ridge, now forested, and by a hill 250m to N on which another possible rath (MA069-038----) is located. This enclosure, most likely a rath, was levelled at some unknown date in the past. It is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. The outline of a circular enclosure is clearly visible in Lidar imagery. A roughly circular area (diam. c. 38m) is defined by a low undulation/levelled scarp (Wth slope c. 7m; H 0.8m at SW), which can be traced at ground level at S−NE where it coincides with a natural fall of ground. It is barely discernible on the E arc, which may be the location of the original entrance. The interior is grassy, flat and featureless. Notified to NMS by Steve McGlade. DG069-039----_01.JPG Levelled enclosure, viewed from W DG069-039----_02.JPG Lidar image (Open topographic data viewer) Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 10 May 2022

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).

---

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.
