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

- KE038-034: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE038-034----. In level reclaimed pasture, at the foot of a S-facing slope. The enclosure is indicated on the 1892 OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped area (dims. c. 70m NE-SW) with a straight SW side (L c. 70m). It is also visible on an aerial photograph (HSAP, 34, 8199/8) taken in June 1962. An arc of the enclosing element (L c. 55m; Wth c. 1m; H c. 1m) is extant NNW-NE but is obscured by field-clearance rubble. Two short linear features, at right angles to each other and covered with overgrowth, in the SW half of the interior are also visible in the aerial photograph. These features may have formed the NE (c. 25m NW-SE) and the SE (c. 15m NE-SW) sides of a rectangular enclosure. A possible ogham stone (KE038-034001-) and a possible children's burial ground (KE038-034002-) are associated with the enclosure. It is known locally as a 'Killeen'.

- KE038-034002: Children's burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE038-034002-. In an enclosure (KE038-034----). In the 1990s a field called 'Killeen', which 'was a burial ground long ago' was recorded in Gurraun townland (CPCK 2001, vol. 2). The Killeen is a D-shaped enclosure which has been partially levelled, probably during the removal of field boundaries. There are no visible remains of any graves or grave-markers in the enclosure but the name 'Killeen' implies that it was used as a children's burial ground.

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.
