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

- MA111-003: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA111-003----. In average pasture, in undulating terrain. Prominently sited on the level top of a low ridge, with a gentle fall of ground to W−NW towards an expanse of flat, lowlying wettish land (partly reclaimed), bordering the River Robe which is c. 300m to W. There are good views, especially extensive W−N over the flood plain. A circular area (82.4m N−S; 80m E−W) defined by a flat-topped bank (Wth 4-5m, top 1.2m; int. H 0.35-0.7m; ext. H 1.5-1.6m). A section (L c. 45m) of the bank at WSW−NNW has been levelled, its curve now evident as a cropmark, and a portion of the bank at NNW−N has been dug away, leaving an elongated quarry pit (L 22m ENE-WSW; Wth 9m; D 0.5-0.7m). A NNE−SSW field wall, now levelled, clipped the external face of the bank at NW. There is a hint of a depression (Wth 3.5-4m) immediately outside the bank on the SW arc, which might indicate a fosse, but it is not evident elsewhere around the circuit. The original entrance may have been at NNE where there is a gap (Wth 3.5m) in the bank, with expanded inward curving terminals. Two low-profile linear features (W rise 3.5m; H 0.1-0.3m; E rise Wth 4.6m; H 0.3m), possibly levelled banks, extend from the bank terminals through the interior to SSW. They are roughly parallel, with an intervening gap of 7.5-8m. Both extend beneath the NW−SE field wall that crosses the interior, and peter out in the centre of the rath interior –it is unclear if they ever fully bisected the interior. The E linear rise has an expanded terminal (Wth c. 7m) at its SSW end. There is another broad break (Wth 8.5m) at E, slighted on its N side by a field wall on a NW−SE axis that crosses the rath, slightly NE of centre. Elsewhere around the circuit, the bank is broken by several small gaps eroded by farm stock. The interior has a slight slope down to SSE.

In a rath (MA111-003----). According to local traditions, the rath interior was used for burials. There are no graves visible at ground level.

- MA111-105: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA111-105----. In pasture, located at the base of a SE-facing slope, bordering an expanse of flat, partly reclaimed wet ground. There is a rath (MA111-003----) c. 100m upslope to W. A low, elongated mound (c. 20m NE–SW; c. 11m NW–SE; H 0.7m at SE, 0.4m at NW) overlain centrally on a NE–SW axis by a field wall. A concentration of small angular, possibly heat-shattered limestone fragments in a dark-coloured soil matrix was noted at the NE end. Covered in long grass, thistles and hawthorn scrub.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
