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

- ME045-068: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME045-068----. Situated on a gently undulating landscape. A magnetic gradiometer survey (16R0116) of an extensive area (dims c. 600m ENE-WSW; c. 300m NNW-SSE) identified 15 potential archaeological features (Roseveare and Roseveare 2016), 11 of which were archaeologically tested (16E0548). Of these all but two proved to be either natural or of recent origin. An area of high bipolar electro-magnetic signal indicative of severe burning was archaeologically tested at its fringes and the presence of burnt mound material was confirmed. An exclusion zone (dims 35m N-S; 30m E-W) will preserve the monument in situ in the new development.

Situated on a slight E-facing slope. A magnetic gradiometer survey (16R0116) of an extensive area (dims c. 600m ENE-WSW; c. 300m NNW-SSE) identified 15 potential archaeological features (Roseveare and Roseveare 2016), 11 of which were archaeologically tested (16E0548). Of these all but two proved to be either natural or of recent origin. This is a circular area (int. diam. 16-17m) defined by a single fosse (Wth 0.9-1m; D 0.4m) which was encountered in excavation at three points. It was filled with a light greyish brown silty clay with small pebbles. An exclusion zone (diam. 30m) will preserve the monument in situ.

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.
