- LI054-032: Linear earthwork, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI054-032----. A section of the Cork-Limerick county boundary (L c. 1.5km) is termed the Cliadh Dubh' on the 1924 OS six-inch map, running between Vein Bridge and Glenagaphul. This consists of two parallel earthen banks (c. 12m apart) running along the N side of a public road. Both are constructed earth banks (H c. 1.1m; Wth 1.5m) similar to the surrounding field boundaries, overgrown with scrub, thorn and gorse. Sections of the roadside bank have been replaced in places by recent fencing, and both are interrupted by roads, farm passages and roadside dwellings. The area between the boundaries is largely under pasture, but shorter sections are covered by trees and bushes. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 29 August 2012

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.
