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

- GA086-083: Quarry, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA086-083----. In pastureland. A hachured feature marked on the 1947-8 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1986 to be an oval depression, most likely a disused sand or gravel quarry. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 22 July 2014
- GA086-255: Burial, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA086-255----. In June 1972 a pair of human feet was discovered in a bog at Cloonahinch, near Woodlawn, Co. Galway. Professor E. Rynne visited the site and reported that the find spot had been completely destroyed by the finders in their attempt to locate the body. The remains were apparently discovered close to the base of a bog hole (D c. 1.4m diam c. 0.9m). The pit was filled with a matted yellow sedge-like material, above which was a c. 0.3m thick layer of dark peat. It is possible that the feet were the only surviving part of a more ancient bog body which had been exposed and dispersed over years through turf cutting (Ó Floinn 1995, 227) (pers. comm. M. Cahill and M. Sikora, NMI). Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 3 December 2010

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.
