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

- MA093-015001: Children's burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA093-015001-. Within an enclosure (MA093-015002-). The remains consist of a low, roughly rectangular rise (13m NNW–SSE; c. 8-10m ENE–WSW; H 0.4m) with an uneven, hummocky surface. It is scattered with low, sod-covered stones, probably gravemarkers. A sandpit, now disused, lies immediately to N. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 14 June 2022
- MA093-015002: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA093-015002-. In average pasture, ground falls away to NE, levelling out to an expanse of wet pasture and bog bordering Derrycreen Loughs. Views are good N−E; restricted to W by gently rising ground. Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. 50-55m); by the time of the 1916 edition only the SSW−NNW arc of the enclosure is shown. This enclosure has been levelled but it is possible to trace the outline of a sub-circular area (diam. c. 40-45m), crossed roughly centrally by a later field fence on a NE–SW axis, and slightly truncated at S–SW by a field fence on a NW–SE axis. A scarp (H 0.9m) extending SW–NW in a shallow curve appears to preserve the W arc of the enclosure. Outside the scarp at SW–W is a slightly sunken trackway (Wth 3m; D 0.3m) on a NE–SW axis, which extends to NE beyond the enclosure for a few meters and then peters out; it is possible that this preserves the line of an original enclosing fosse. Very ephemeral traces of an enclosing scarp are also evident at SE. A sandpit (now disused) has destroyed most of the E half of the interior, leaving untouched only a small area in the SE quadrant occupied by a children’s burial ground (MA093-015001-). The site is known locally as a ‘fort’. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 14 June 2022
- MA093-032: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA093-032----. In pasture, located on the gentle S-facing slope of a rise, with rather restricted views over the surrounding undulating terrain. Slightly raised circular area (36m E–W; 37.5m N–S) defined SW–NE by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.1m at NNE) and elsewhere by a scarp (H 1.4m at S), outside which it is enclosed by a fosse (Wth 3m) with an external bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.2m at NNE). There is a slumped break (Wth 1.6m) in the bank/scarp at SE, but it is unclear if this represents an original entrance. The fosse is largely infilled and reduced to a shallow depression. The external bank is well defined at on the N half but has been levelled on the S half to a slight undulation. The interior slopes down gently from N to S–SW, and has an uneven surface, engulfed in long grass and weeds. The perimeter is moderately ringed with hawthorn and blackthorn bushes. Another rath (MA093-033----) is located 100m to ESE and is visible from this one. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 June 2022

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.
