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

- MA087-019: Designed landscape - belvedere, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA087-019----. In pasture, situated on elevated ground. Indicated as ‘Turret’ on the 1838 and 1920 OS 6-inch maps, this is an early 19th-century folly or belvedere, designed as a location from which to enjoy views of the surrounding landscape. It is a squat structure of mortared stone, rectangular in plan (max dim. 6-7m). There are opposing openings in the walls, with flat heads of cutstone limestone voussoirs. The roof is missing, but the decorative battlemented parapet is intact. It appears to have been part of the landscaped grounds of a 19th-century dwelling, named Cherry Cottage on the OS 6-inch maps, which is located c. 100m to N. (see also NIAH, https://www.buildingsofireland.ie/ reg. no. 31211003) Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 19 May 2020
- MA087-020: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA087-020----. In pasture, located on elevated ground. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), incorporated into the junction of four modern rectangular fields. The enclosure was levelled in the past, and there is no visible trace at ground level; its location and size suggest that it may have been a ringfort (Morahan 2001, 107). Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 19 May 2020

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.
