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

- MA111-035: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA111-035----. In pasture, on a level expanse of elevated ground, with good views in all directions. Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure planted with trees; not shown on the 1930 edition. This enclosure, most likely a rath, has been levelled. A slightly raised flat area (27.5m N−S; 34m E−W) defined by a slight undulation/levelled scarp can still be traced at ground level. Outside this are barely discernible undulations suggesting an encircling fosse (Wth c. 2.5m) with an external bank (Wth 4-5m). Trees grow on the perimeter at W and N.

- MA111-036: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA111-036----. At the E end of a rectangular field, bordered by a house and farmyard. A circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 25m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on the 1930 edition. There is no visible trace at ground level. The field fences at N, E and S sides of the field may overlie the enclosure. According to local tradition, there was a 'fort' with a souterrain (MA111-036001-) here. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 21 December 2022
- MA111-036001: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA111-036001-. In a possible rath (MA111-036----), now levelled. There is a local tradition that there is a souterrain in the rath, which was said to extend N towards another rath (MA111-035----), also levelled. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 21 December 2022
- MA111-045002: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA111-045002-. In a large pasture field, on slightly elevated level ground with a gently undulating fall of ground to NE towards a drain/stream. A subcircular enclosure (diam. approx. 20-25m), within a field system (MA111-045003), is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (SMR file: CUCAP AYR 74 & 75). It was levelled during land reclamation and there is no visible trace at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 21 December 2022
- MA111-045003: Field system, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA111-045003-. In a large pasture field, on slightly elevated level ground with a gently undulating fall of ground to NE towards a drain/stream. A field system of irregular or subrectangular fields, incorporating a sub-circular enclosure (MA111-045002-), is visible as cropmarks in aerial photographs (SMR file: CUCAP AYR 74 & 75). It appears to have extended over an area of c. 25m N−S by c. 200m E−W. It was levelled during land reclamation; there is no visible trace at ground level. According to local tradition, there was pre-famine cluster of cottages/settlement here, which was devastated during the Famine years and disappeared thereafter.

- MA111-099: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA111-099----. In pasture, at the base of a steep S-facing slope which forms one side of a narrow flat-bottomed E−W valley of wet, rush-grown ground. Modern field drains extend E−W along both the N and S sides of the valley at the edges of the wet ground. The mound is located toward the W end of the valley, at the interface between wet ground and rising, drier ground at N. A low, elongated semicircular mound (5.6m N–S; 14.7m E–W; H 0.45m at S), bordered on the straight side to N by an E−W field drain (now dry and grass grown). Beneath the sod cover of the mound is a layer of black soil overlying a concentration of angular stone fragments. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 9 March 2023

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.
