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

- LI020-179: Armorial plaque, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI020-179----. This armorial plaque was reported to ASI by Tom Cassidy, Conservation Officer with Limerick County Council on 27th September 2012. It is in the kitchen of Ballinvirick House, Co. Limerick. The arms are probably those of Sir Francis Berkeley who was granted nearby Askeaton Castle (LI011-092003-) in the Munster Plantation and was besieged there in 1598 (see Westropp, T.J. (1902) 'Sir Francis Berkeley of Askeaton' in Journal of Limerick Field Club 2, 118-132). This stone may have been the centre-piece of a fireplace mantle, probably in Askeaton Castle though there is no evidence for this.

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.
