## Designated sites (National Parks and Wildlife Service)

No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Facefield.

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

- MA091-009: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA091-009----. In pasture, located on a slight rise in gently undulating terrain, with good views, especially to W–NW. Not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map but shown on the 1920 edition. Raised, roughly circular area (33.5m NE–SW; 37m NW–SE) defined by a substantial earthen bank (at SW: Wth 6-6.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 2.4m), with an external fosse evident as a slight depression at ESE–SE. An ephemeral rise outside the fosse may indicate a levelled external bank. At NW–N the bank is incorporated into a later field fence, which respects its arc. Two roughly circular depressions (diam. 4-6m), probably the result of past quarrying are located more or less on the line of the fosse at NNE–NE. The rath interior is level, with traces of cultivation ridges on a N–S axis. There is an entrance gap (Wth 2.2m) at ESE, with well-defined bank terminals, a slightly ramped access slope, and a hint of a possible causeway across the fosse. Grass cover in the interior; the perimeter is thickly ringed with gorse, interspersed with a few hawthorn trees. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 7 February 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.
