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

- MA030-016: Moated site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA030-016----. In pasture, located on a slight rise in an area of gently undulating grassland. A rath (MA030-015) is visible c. 200m to SW. This moated site consists of a raised, rectangular platform (36.8m E–W; 34m N–S) defined by remnants of a bank, and enclosed by a fosse and external bank. The inner bank survives mainly as a scarp (Wth slope 3.4m; ext. H 2m) with a low internal rim (Wth 0.6m; int. H 0.2m). The fosse (Wth 4.5m) is broad and well defined. The external bank (Wth 5.9m; H ext. 0.9m, at N) remains substantial on the N side, but is rather degraded elsewhere. There is a break (Wth 6m) in the external bank at the NE angle, and it is also largely eroded at the SE angle. At W the external bank has been reduced to, or possibly replaced by, a low stony bank, topped with a post and wire fence, which flanks the E side of a grassed-over, disused laneway. The laneway skirts the W site of the moated site, respecting its outline. In the NW quadrant of the interior there is a shallow, sub-rectangular depression or area of disturbance (8.4m E–W; 4.5m N–S). In the SE quadrant there is an L-shaped depression or shallow trench (Wth 1.4m), which extends E–W for c. 7-8m and turns at its E end for c. 8m to the S. It is bordered on its outer edge at N and E by a low raised rim (Wth 1.2m; H 0.2m). A later field fence, on a roughly E–W axis, cuts across the external bank and fosse at NE. Interior grass covered; dense hawthorn and brambles on the banks and fosse. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 April 2018
- MA030-017: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA030-017----. In pasture, located on the E shoulder of a prominent rise on a roughly NW–SE ridge, which provides good views. At SW–W the ground falls away into a narrow valley of wet ground. Raised, circular area (15m E–W; 14.8m N–S) defined by a low and eroded earthen bank (Wth 3.9m at NNW, 3.7m at SSE). The bank has a low, internal slope (int. H 0.3m at NNW, 0.2m at SSE) and is broadly slumped externally (ext. H 1.2m at NNW, 1.3m at SSE)), especially at W–N. The interior slopes down from NW towards the entrance gap (Wth 2m) at SE. A few large boulders are incorporated into the N terminal of the gap. A sod-covered triangular mound of earth and stones, which projects 4-5m from the external face of the bank at N, appears to be the result of field clearance; a similar heap is appended to the bank at SW. This appears to be the remains of a rath, although it should be noted that its diameter is smaller than average. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 April 2018

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).

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
