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

- LI007-009: Earthwork, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI007-009----. On an elevated area of blanket bog, in the Slievefelim Mountains. Annotated 'Poulastanna' on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map which O'Donovan interpreted as the 'hole or pit of the stan or barrell, known locally as 'The Cask Hole' (OSNB Doon Parish, 604). Described in 1840 as following; 'This hole, which is thought to be a Danish stucture, is about 14 feet [4.26m] deep and 8 feet [2.4m] wide. It is circular, and made of stones. It is on a heathy mountain (ibid.). Depicted on the revised 1903 ed. OS 25-inch map as an oval-shaped feature (approx. dims. 15m N-S x 10m E-W), depicted a depression or hollow in the landscape rather than an extant monument. Visible as an oval-shaped area of differential growth on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018. May be just a natural or geological feature with no archaeological significance. Alternatively could be the remains of a pond-barrow which became an important landmark in the locality.

- LI008-003: Barrow - ring-barrow, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI008-003----. On the summit of Cullaun, on a slight NW-facing slope, in rough mountain bog, in the Slievefelim Mountains. Annotated 'Mound' and depicted on the OS 25-inch map as a small oval-shaped earthwork standing on the townland boundary with Falleenadatha. The mound may be related to the OS trig station marking spot height of 1524 ft. OD which is immediately W of the mound. Or may be the remains of a boundary cairn constructed by the Ordnance Survey to mark this boundary. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 1999 and described as a circular-shaped flat-topped mound (diam. 8m; H 0.3m) of earth and stone defined by a fosse (basal Wth 1.4m; overall Wth 6.3m; D 0.5m). A narrow routeway (Wth 0.6m) is cut (D 0.15m) from the outer edge of the fosse to the top of the mound at E and appears to be a relatively recent modification. Visible as an oval-shaped area of differential growth on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018.

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.
