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

- MA103-033: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA103-033----. In pasture, located on a rise in undulating terrain. Views, most open to SE, are good but not extensive. Raised subcircular area (49m N−S; c. 45m E−W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.2m at SE, 5m at NW; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.8-1m), reduced almost to a scarp on the S arc. Outside the bank at NE-SE there is a fosse, evident as a shallow surface depression (Wth 2. 2.5m) with a hint of an external bank (Wth c. 3m). There is a break in the inner bank at NE but it is unclear if this is an original entrance. The interior has a gently undulating surface, with higher ground in the N half. In the NE quadrant there is a shallow surface depression (3-4m across) partly filled with loose small stones. The rath is tightly boxed in on the S, W and N by field fences. The field fence at N incorporates the N arc of the rath bank, and an E−W road lies immediately outside it, respecting the curve of the rath. Another road (coinciding with the townland boundary) is 30m to E bordering the E side of the field. The rath interior is grassy; the perimeter is thickly ringed with hazel and hawthorn trees and brambles. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 11 November 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.
