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

- LF011-031: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF011-031----. On a low rise in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 37m) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.3-5.7m; H 1.25-1.55m) with an intervening fosse (Wth 6.1m; D 0.1-0.85m), which has been infilled from NNE–E-ESE, and an outer bank (Wth 4.6-5.3m; H 0.6-1.6m) from ESE–S–SW and from NW–NNW–N. A modern field drain is evident at the external base of the outer bank. A break in the inner bank at ENE probably marks the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 22 November 2011
- LF011-037: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF011-037----. On a prominent rise in pasture. A raised oval area (46.5m NNW–SSE; 40.5m ENE–WSW) enclosed by two low banks of earth and stone with a shallow, partially waterlogged, intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 3.8-5m; H 0.4-0.7m) is not visible from E–SE–S due to the dumping of farm refuse. The fosse (Wth 5-6.8m; D 0.2-0.6m) is identifiable at SSE and from NW–NNW–N. The outer bank (Wth 4m; H 0.8m) only survives at N. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 22 November 2011
- LF011-042: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF011-042----. On a SW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 28.4m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.1m; H 0.1-0.45m). From WSW–N–ENE the circuit of the bank has been straightened and its outer face has been incorporated into a field boundary. A large mound of earth has been piled up against it from N–NE–ENE. At the external base of the bank from ENE–E–S a modern laneway obscures any evidence of a fosse. A report in 1975 (SMR file) suggested that the original entrance may have been at E but this feature is no longer identifiable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 22 November 2011

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.
