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

- MA030-050: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA030-050----. Located in field of level pasture, flanked by residential and commercial development, on the outskirts of Ballina. Rising ground to N. This monument is depicted on 1837 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure; it is not shown on later map editions. It has been levelled; there are no remains visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 16 April 2018
- MA030-071: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA030-071----. Located in pasture, on a rise at the base of a gentle W-facing slope, and overlooked c. 250m to W by a ridge on top of which a possible rath (MA030-070----), now levelled, is sited. Raised, broadly oval area (c. 25-30m NW-SE; c. 35-40m NE-SW) defined by an earthen scarp (H 3m; Wth slope 5-6m), which retains a low internal rim at E, and enclosed by two fosses with an intervening bank (Wth 5.6m; int. H 0.4-0.6m; ext. H 2.2m). The inner fosse (Wth 2.5m) is narrower than the outermost fosse (Wth 4m; ext. D 0.85m). The outermost fosse is well defined on N and S, with a low rise (Wth 1.8m) on its outer edge in parts, which may represent a counterscarp bank, or possibly a later field bank. The E half of the interior is level but there is a marked slope down from centre to W−SW. At the ESE, a U-shaped depression (Wth 4-5m) cuts through the fosses and outer bank, extending as far as the inner scarp; it appears to be the result of relatively modern disturbance/quarrying. The perimeter is ringed with hawthorn, blackthorn and brambles, and there is a dense thicket of blackthorn in E half of interior. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 5 June 2018
- MA030-072: Megalithic structure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA030-072----. The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.
- MA030-079: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA030-079----. In the NE corner of a modern pasture field, on the NW outskirts of Ballina town, located on top of a roughly N–S ridge, close to the fall of ground on the W side. This souterrain is not shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map, but is indicated as ‘Cave’ on the 1930 edition. At surface ground level, a shallow, linear depression (c. 5m NNE–SSW; c. 1.5-2m WNW–ESE) indicates the line of the underground passage. Partly exposed within the depression, are three in situ roofing lintels, which flank a cavity where a fourth lintel has been displaced. The cavity provides a partial view of the interior of a passage (Wth c. 1-1.2m; c. H 0.8m), which has walls of drystone construction. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 5 June 2018

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.
