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

- MA080-001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA080-001----. In pasture, located on a ridge, utilising the break of slope at NNW. A stream/drain, coinciding with the townland boundary, is 70m to NW. This rath is indicated as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. The remains consist of a slightly raised area (33m NE−SW; c. 33m NW−SE), originally circular but now squarish in plan as a result of being boxed in on all sides by straight field fences. Low remnants of the original curving scarp can still be traced at N, NE (H 0.5m) and E, but are subsumed into straight field fences, engulfed in thorn bushes, at SW and NW. The interior is fairly level and grassy, with a shallow oval hollow (c. 3m NW−SE; c. 2m NE−SW; D 0.4m) in the W quadrant. There is an area of quarrying/disturbance at the S-SSW edge of the rath.

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.
