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

- MA093-066: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA093-066----. In pasture, on elevated ground in undulating terrain. A lintelled opening to the souterrain is visible at ground level, The opening is little more than a narrow horizontal slit or gap (Wth 1m NNW−SSE; H 0.25m) at ground level, partly blocked with loose stones. The lintel covering the opening consists of a large horizontal limestone slab (L 1.2m NNW−SSE; D 0.35-0.4m), visible in section beneath c. 0.2-0.3m of sod/topsoil. The gap is too narrow to allow easy access to the souterrain, however, it allows a glimpse of a chamber or passage extending to WSW or W. From the opening there is a steep, stone-strewn slope to the floor of the chamber. The walls are of drystone construction and the roof consists of a row of flat limestone slabs. Loose stones lie on the chamber floor. Immediately in front of/to E of the opening there is a shallow depression (Wth c. 1m NNW−SSE; c. 3m ENW−WSW), bordered at E by a close-set line (L 3-5m NNW−SSE) of low partly sod-covered stones, barely protrude from the ground surface on a roughly NW−SE axis. Their significance is uncertain; in parts they resemble wall footings (Wth c. 0.8-1m), possibly remnants of a wall associated with the souterrain or with an enclosure associated with the souterrain, or possibly remnants of a later field wall. Some of the stones may simply be part of a natural seam of bedrock. Immediately to S of the souterrain is an oval field clearance cairn (9.5m NW−SE; 6.6m NE−SW; H 1.3m) consisting of a domed, broadly-slumped heap of loose stones. A second roughly circular field clearance cairn (diam. c. 5m; H 0.5m at W, 1.5m at E) is located c. 5m NNE of the souterrain. It is heaped against a SE-facing slope so that it has a broad slump on the E side. An account of the souterrain published in the Irish Press newspaper on 20th June 1933 described it as a roughly oval, drystone structure (L c. 7m; Wth 3-3.5m; H c. 2m) with slightly corbelled drystone walls supporting flat roofing slabs (SMR file).

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.
