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

- GA108-120: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA108-120----. On a hummock in an area of marshy and badly drained pastureland. This fairly well-preserved but overgrown rectangular enclosure (c. 28m N-S; c. 25m E-W) is defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. The steeply sloping inner bank (Wth 1m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.9m) is visible along the S and W sides and a scarp forms the enclosing element along the N and E sides. The fosse (Wth 1.7-3m) is visible all round. The outer bank (Wth 1m; int. H 0.6-1m; ext. H 0.3-0.7m) is visible except at NE where there is a gap and at E where it is obscured by overgrowth. The interior of the monument is slightly depressed and partially overgrown. A bank (Wth 1.2m; in H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) and fosse (Wth 2.3m-3.1m; D 0.2m) encircle the base of the hummock (81.1m N-S). It is unclear whether they are related to the enclosure, they may be of 19th-century date. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 14 December 2017

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.
