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

- MA052-012: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA052-012----. In pasture, on gently elevated ground bordered at SE−W by expanses of bog. There is a gentle fall of ground to N and gently rising ground to S−SE. Broadly oval area (28.4m N−S; 36m E−W) defined on the E half by a low bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.7m), and on the W half by a scarp (H 0.9m; Wth ext. slope 1.8m). The scarp retains a slightly raised stony internal rim (Wth c. 2m) and there is much loose, tumbled stone on the external slope. The scarp has a gradual slope into a fosse, evident as a broad depression (Wth 2-3.5m; ext. D 0.7m). The fosse is not evident on the E half, and it is possible that it is not a primary fosse but a field ditch related to the incorporation of the W half of the rath into a later field fence, which has since been removed. There are gaps/breaks in the bank at NE (Wth 2m) and at E (Wth 1.5m). A larger section (L 8-10m) of the enclosing bank is levelled at SE. The interior is not noticeably raised relatively to exterior ground level. It is dotted with a number of large heaps of field clearance debris. Immediately outside the bank at SE−S is a deep pit partly filled with loose stone and field clearance debris. Other heaps of stone are piled up close to the pit. The rath perimeter at W is engulfed in thorn-bushes and brambles. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 26 June 2020
- MA052-013: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA052-013----. In pasture, prominently located on the crown of a hill, with excellent views over the surrounding landscape of lowlying grassland, expanses of bog and low hills. Slightly raised circular area (25m N−S; 24.5m E−W) defined by a bank (2.6m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.35m at SE). The bank on the W half now serves as a field boundary, and is densely engulfed in overgrowth. There are several breaks in the bank: at N (1m), at NNE (0.6m) at NE (0.6m) and at S (1m). Interior is level, covered by grass and thistles; perimeter is ringed with hawthorn and brambles, particularly dense on the W. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 26 June 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.
