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

- MA063-034: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA063-034----. In pasture, located on elevated ground, overlooking a small river, which is located 30m to the W. There is a narrow strip (Wth 4m) of level ground immediately to W of the rath, beyond which ground falls steeply to the river bank. An E-W road (N 5) lies immediately to S. This rath is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 25-30m), with a possible arc of fosse and external bank at NE; on the 1920 edition it is shown as a D-shaped hachured enclosure, with the straight side at S−SW. The rath was severely damaged by quarrying in the early 20th century,: the only portions of the rath that remain intact are a semi-circular arc of bank at NW−SE, with a 2m wide strip of interior just inside the bank at NW−N. There is a deep, grassed-over depression (c. 15-20m across), with a heap of stones in the base, immediately to NW of the rath, probably another quarry. There is a rath (MA063-035----) c. 120m to SE, and another rath (MA063-034----) 200m to E. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 10 September 2020
- MA063-036: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA063-036----. In a stand of deciduous and coniferous trees, with a farmstead immediately to E and pasture to N. There is an E−W road (N 5) immediately to S. Raised circular area (30m N−S; 28m E−W) defined by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.75-0.85m at N & S, 1.4m at W; ext. H 1.6m at S, 2.3m at N & W). The bank is well preserved for most of the circuit; stones protruding from its inner face in parts, possibly remnants of a stone facing. A section of the bank at NE is partly levelled, and is abutted by a garden shed and a wall. There is a hint of a depression (Wth c. 3m) outside the bank at W, which might be indicative of a fosse, but it cannot be traced elsewhere. A gap (Wth c. 2m) at SE may be an original entrance, as the rath is lower here relative to exterior ground level. The interior is level, and contains a souterrain (MA063-036001) in the W half. Trees ring the bank and are thinly scattered through the interior. The interior ground surface is obscured by ferns, ivy, bluebells, pine needles and leaf mould. There is a rath (MA063-036----) 100m to SW, and another rath (MA063-034----) 200m to W. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 10 September 2020
- MA063-036001: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA063-036001-. In a rath (MA063-036----). According to local information, there is a souterrain in the W half of the rath interior. It was accessible in the early 20th century, when a surface opening revealed a drystone-built chamber or passage. The opening was later infilled. When the rath was inspected in 1996, a large slab, possibly a displaced lintel, was visible protruding from the ground surface in the NW quadrant of the interior; this may mark the location of the souterrain. The ground level is very slightly raised in its vicinity. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 10 September 2020
- MA063-037: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA063-037----. In pasture, located on a rise, which provides good views over the surrounding undulating terrain. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20-25m) truncated on its S edge by an E−W road; it is not shown the 1920 edition. At this location there is a rise or hillock with steep, broadly sloping sides, which are several meters high; the S side of the hill is truncated by the E-W road, giving the hillock a D-shape plan. The hillock has a flat top (diam. c. 20m E−W); this may have been enclosed to serve as an enclosure, but no trace of an enclosure is now evident.

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.
