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

- MA073-062: Enclosure - large enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA073-062----. In pasture and larch plantation, located in an area of level grassland surrounded by expanses of bog, with a particularly extensive bog c. 350m to W. The Mayo-Roscommon county boundary is c. 750m to E. This large enclosure consists of a broadly oval area (c. 110m NW–SE; c. 100m NE–SW) defined by a low rise or undulation which represents a levelled bank or wall. The levelled enclosing element is visible at W–NW as a slight rise marked by rough vegetation and at NNW–N as a broad, low curving scarp (H 0.5m). At N-NNE it is truncated by, or possibly incorporated into, a property fence (Wth c.1m; H 0.5). At NE-SE it can be traced as an arc of slightly raised ground, marked by rough vegetation, with a break (Wth c. 3m) at ENE now providing access to the interior for farm machinery. The SE arc cannot be traced. The S−SW sector of the enclosure has been planted with larch trees, but the outline of the enclosure can still be traced in parts as a slight curving rise beneath the trees. The interior of the enclosure is not significantly raised above surrounding ground level. It is relatively level, with a slight rise or undulation apparent in the centre and NE of centre. Two parallel property fences, on a NW–SE axis, cut across the enclosure; one clips the N–NNE edge and the other bisects the interior to SW of centre. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 22 June 2021
- MA082-002: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA082-002----. In rough pasture, located on a low rise. Views are restricted now by trees and field fences. This possible rath is depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure clipped on the E arc by a field boundary on a NNE–SSW axis, and on the 1916 edition as a semicircular enclosure bordered on the straight E side by a NNE–SSW field boundary. The remains consist of a roughly semicircular platform (20.8m N–S; 11m E–W to field fence) defined on the curving W side by a low, dilapidated earthen scarp (ext. H c. 0.6m) with a slight stony lip in parts, and bordered on the straight side to E by a NNE–SSW field bank planted with a line of sycamores. There is no trace of the E half of the enclosure to E of the field fence. There is a low irregular, curving stony rise (Wth c. 1m E–W; L c. 4m; H c. 0.2m) in the interior at W, set 2.5m in from the edge of the scarp; its function is unclear. Hawthorn, blackthorn and ash trees grow on the perimeter and across the interior, and the interior surface is strewn with loose stone.

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.
