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

- GA133-011: Field boundary, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA133-011----. On a slight E-facing slope in pastureland. Marked on the 1921 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a possible enclosure (diam. c. 47m) defined by curving field boundaries. On inspection in May 1992 no visible surface trace survived as the area had been cleared during land reclamation works. However, the outline of its W half is visible on the OSi digitialglobe aerial photograph. It was possibly a circular field. The evidence is insufficient to warrant accepting this as an archaeological monument. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 10 April 2019

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.
