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

- MA103-013: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA103-013----. In pasture, on a roughly E−W ridge, with excellent views. Ground falls away at N and S to wet rush-grown pasture. Boxed into the N corner of a field, which is bordered by a road. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is depicted on the 1916 edition as a small subrectangular field, gently curving on the E side. The remains consist of a slightly raised area (c. 19m E−W; 18.5m N−S) defined at NE by a low curving scarp (H 0.5m); at E−NW the scarp is incorporated into a field wall (H 0.65m) that more or less respects the original curve of the enclosure, but tends to be linear at SE and W producing an overall subrectangular plan. A farm track impinges on the scarp NW−NNE. The interior is level, grassy with a few hawthorn bushes. Some large stones are piled at the base of a hawthorn tree in the S half of the interior, and a large boulder lies in the SE quadrant. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 27 October 2022
- MA103-068: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA103-068----. In pasture, at the base of the S-facing slope of a natural rise, bordering a flat expanse of rough, wettish, rush-grown pasture. A compact, kidney-shaped grass-covered mound (12.9m E−W; 10m N−S; H 0.55m at E, 0.65m at W) composed of shattered stones in a charcoal-rich soil, with a shallow depression (2m N−S; c. 1m E−W) between the ‘arms’ to S most likely indicating the location of a trough. At N, where it back onto rising ground, the mound is only 0.25m in height; at S the height is 0.7m. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 November 2022

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.
