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

- KD012-007: Road - gravel/stone trackway - peatland, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD012-007----. On the E edge of a large expanse of bog, and apparently giving access to/from Lullymore 'island', an area of high ground c. 1300m to the N. The monument was investigated by Rynne (1964-5, 35-7) on behalf of the NMI, who examined its S end where it ran parallel with and close to a modern tarred road. Rynne found a wide roadway (Wth 4.5m) constructed of marl and gravel at a depth of 0.55m below the surface of the bog, with a depth of peat of at least 1.85m below the roadway. Its course was marked by a line of coarse grass growing on the surface of the bog and could be traced for c. 300m. A second, similar roadway (KD012-004001-), lead N from Lullymore 'island', and two other toghers (KD012-002001- and 012-003001-) are known from the vicinity, to the N.

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.
