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

- LI006-027: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI006-027----. In flat pasture 1.5km E of the Killeenagarriff River. Ringfort (LI006-014----) located 250m to the NW. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure. The site is description is based upon its illustration on the 1897 OS 25-inch map and on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 where a circular enclosure (diam. c. 29m) is visible. Possible faint cropmark of levelled monument visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018. See attached Google Earth orthophoto Compiled by: Edmond O’Donovan Date of upload: 22 July 2020
- LI006-028: Barrow - ring-barrow, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI006-028----. In flat pasture 1.5km W of the Killeenagarriff River. Possible ringfort (LI006-029----) located 350m to the SE. The description is based upon its depiction on the 1897 OS 25-inch map and on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018. A raised circular-shaped area (internal dims. c. 26m W) surrounded by an external fosse (c. 5m W). The enclosure appears to have further concentric outer ditches suggesting that it may have been a bivallate or even a trivallate enclosure that could have been up to 60m in diameter. Similar multivallate enclosures, such as Rathanny (LI040-026001-) in Co. Limerick has been attributed to the Bronze Age and is considered as a barrow or burial mound. This monument may be similar to a triple-ditched barrow (LI048-092----) in the townland of Ballyroe Lower.

- LI006-029: Ringfort - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI006-029----.

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.
