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

- MA072-028: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA072-028----. In thicket of overgrowth at the NW corner of a pasture field, located on top of ridge with widespread views. A commercial quarry is located immediately to W. Roughly circular raised area (diam. 35-40m) defined by an earthen scarp (ext. H 1.3m at N, 1.8m at S) topped by a drystone wall, and enclosed by a fosse (Wth 3.4m) with an external bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2m at N). The wall enclosing the interior is well preserved at ESE−S (Wth c. 2m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 0.2m) and appears to form an internal facing for an earthen bank. Elsewhere the wall survives as a collapsed heap (Wth 0.8m-1m; H 0.6m) of medium-large stones. The external slope of the scarp is strewn with stone tumble. It is possible that much of the walling is not primary but represents the incorporation of the rath into a later field system. The 1930 OS 6-inch maps show a trackway flanked by field walls extending to NE and SW from the rath; the route of the trackway appears to have utilised the fosse on the W arc. The outer bank appears more substantial (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) at SE−S, where it has a pronounced external slope. It is incorporated into a later field wall at S−SW; it cannot be examined SW−N where it is concealed by upcast from the adjacent quarry to W. A rough ‘entrance passage’, bordered on the N side by a field wall and on the S side by a jumble of stones, extends across the fosse at ESE. It connects a break (Wth 2.4m) in the inner bank/scarp with a corresponding low area (Wth c. 2m) in the outer bank, and may indicate the site of an original entrance. Later field walls abut the rath at N, E and SW. The perimeter and interior are engulfed in a dense thicket of blackthorn, hawthorn and hazel, which impeded the inspection.

- MA072-029: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA072-029----. In pasture, on rising ground. Indicated on 1838 OS map as a circular enclosure (diam. 30-35m) bisected on an E−W axis slightly S of centre by a trackway flanked by field walls. It is not shown on later map editions. It has been levelled; there are no visible surface remains at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 March 2021

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.
