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

- LF020-028: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF020-028----. In level, low-lying pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) noted that this raised subcircular area (c. 40m E-W; c. 38m N-S) was defined by a low bank of earth. It is defined by a scarp (H 0.7-0.8m) and a wide, shallow, external fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.3m). At SW it is truncated by a NW-SE field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable. A low bank of earth and stone (probably the remains of a field boundary) is evident in the NW quadrant of the interior. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LF020-029001: Moated site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF020-029001-. On a gentle E-facing slope in pasture. A raised subrectangular area (c. 33m NW-SE; c. 28m NE-SW) enclosed from NE-E-SE by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4m; H 0.2m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 0.6-0.8m). A wide, deep, external fosse (Wth 4m; D 1m) has been partially infilled from NE-E-SE. There is a possible house (LF020-029002-) at the N angle of the interior. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 9 May 2012
- LF020-029002: House - indeterminate date, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF020-029002-. Within the interior of a moated site (LF020-029001-), at the N angle. A raised square area (8m NE-SW; 8m NW-SE) appears to mark the site of a house. It may be the 'rectangular house site' noted in 1976 (SMR file). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 15 June 2012

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.
