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

- MA118-063: House - indeterminate date, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA118-063----. This monument is not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, but is shown on the 1929 edition as a small circular hachured feature. When visited by the Ballinrobe Archaeological Survey in 1989 it was classed as a mound and recorded as follows: ‘In undulating pasture, atop rise. Raised (H 1m) circular area (8.6m N-S; 7.6m E-W) of earth and stone. Trees grow in interior.’ (Lavelle (1994, 51, no. 331). It is listed in the RMP (1997) as a mound. When inspection in 2018, grass cover had been eroded by farm stock exposing a low, double-faced straight wall (average width 1.1m) on the S-side. The wall suggests that this monument may be the remains of a house. There is a cashel (MA118-064----) 55m to E. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of revised upload: 24 May 2018
- MA118-064: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA118-064----. When visited by the Ballinrobe Archaeological Survey in 1989 this cashel was recorded as follows: ‘On slight rise, in undulating pasture. Circular area (51.5m N-S; 48m E-W) enclosed by sod-covered stone wall (H 1.1m; Wth 1.7m), overlain by stone fence SW to N. Gap (Wth 1.6m) in ESE.’ (Lavelle (1994, 43, no. 263). An inspection in 2018 found that the cashel wall has been removed from NNE−SW, but its course can still be traced as a low grass-covered undulation. The W half of the cashel, where a later field wall overlies the lower courses of the original cashel wall, remains unchanged. There is a possible house (MA118-063----) 55m to W.

- MA118-065: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA118-065----. In pasture, on rise. This is the most northerly of two conjoined circular enclosures which appear on an aerial photograph (GSI). The second enclosure is SL118-065001-. Slight traces of earthen banks visible on ground.

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.
