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

- MA071-024: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA071-024----. Located on a slight rise in lowlying, boggy pasture bordered to NE by the Gweestion River. Ground falls away gently towards the river, which is 100m to E, and there is rising ground immediately to S–SW. Good views E−SE along the river valley. A circular enclosure (30-35m) is shown on 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. The outline of a levelled circular enclosure is visible as a very low grassy platform (32m N–S; 34.5m E–W) surrounded by rush-grown land. It is slightly truncated on the N edge by an NE−SW field fence. Ephemeral remains of cultivation ridges on a N–S axis traverse the platform.

- MA071-084: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA071-084----. In improved pasture, straddling a rise with good views, in an area of generally poor-wet pasture. Ground rises to N and falls away to SW to a wet, boggy area. A low oval earthen platform (21.2m WNW−ENE; 17m NNE−SSW) defined by a scarp (Wth 0.8m at W; 0.85m at E). The scarp incorporates large stones in parts –possibly remnants of stone facing. At NE−SE, the scarp drops to a terrace (Wth 5m) defined by a low scarp (H 0.4m) at its outer edge. At W there is a shallow depression (Wth c. 2m) outside the scarp, possibly a fosse. The entrance may have been at E, where there is a low area/slump (Wth 1.4m) in the scarp. The interior has a low E−W central spine, giving it a slightly domed profile. The slope is slightly more pronounced from centre down to S, where the contours of the scarp are indistinct, merging smoothly with the natural fall of ground. The rath is ringed by hawthorn; the interior is grassy and dotted with a few hawthorn trees. There are several breaks in the scarp eroded by cattle. There is a possible rath (MA071-024----) 215m to N. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 August 2021

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.
