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

- LI015-009: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI015-009----. Situated on the floodplains of the Mulkear River to the W, overlooking Brittas Castle (LI014-058----) on W side of the river. Depicted on the 1897 OS 25-inch map as a raised sub-oval shaped platform (approx. dims. int. 20m NW-SE; ext. 36m NW-SE) defined by a fosse from NW through to W, spoil heap bank from river drainage scheme intersects the site from W to NW. Partially levelled monument described in 1964 (O’Dwyer 1964, 96) as ‘a platform 20 foot [6m] in diameter, 8 foot [2.4m] high. Encircled by a 12 feet [3.6m] wide ditch which has traces of an outer bank. Only about one third of the site remains’. Monument inspected in 2005 when it was recorded as heavily overgrown with scrub vegetation making detailed examination impossible. Monument not clearly visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 2018. See attached Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018 Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 3 July 2020
- LI015-051: Megalithic structure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI015-051----. Identified by archaeologist Celie O Rahilly in 1995 while preparing an EIS for a quarry extension. She noted "some large erratic boulders on the surface. It was not possible to examine these closely as they were separated by a boundary. They may be a natural formation or they may form an alignment of archaeological significance". In a further report in 1999, she wrote "it would now not be possible to examine this area as it is now backfilled". Extensive land clearance has taken place in this area and the feature described by O Rahilly is no longer evident. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 23 October 2013

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).

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

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.
