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

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

- DU008-007: Windmill, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU008-007----. Foundations of a windmill marked on the 1837 OS 6-inch map. The base of this windmill is evident as a slightly raised area (Diam. 18.50m) enclosed by a ditch (Wth 8m, D 0.40m). According to the owner the ditch had been deeper prior to levelling c. 1985. Post-1700 AD in date. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- DU008-099: Habitation site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU008-099----. This site was identified during pre-development test-excavation (Licence no. 01E0384). The results indicate a typical medieval plot. Towards the street front are a number of structural features; a broad ditch forms a sub-division beyond which are pits from which 12th-14th century pottery was recovered. The archaeological remains are preserved within the open space of a housing development (Baker 2001, 6). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 5 February 2015

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.
