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

- ME019-081: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME019-081----. The passage of a souterrain lies on the edge of an elevated escarpment above the river Boyne. It is of drystone construction and consists of a simple, unrestricted passage leading into a small terminal chamber entered via an ante-chamber. The original entrance is blocked. It is aligned E-NE/W-SW ( L 6.5m, Wth 0.8m, H 1.1m) before it turns SW towards the terminal chamber ( L 3.8m). This is corbelled with an oval plan (dims. NE-SW 2.5m, N-SE H 1.7m). It is built of drystone walling with local limestone and sandstone. Greywacke is used in the capstones of the chamber. A detailed archaeological and geophysical survey of the immediate area was carried out in 2010 during which a number of additional and potentially significant archaeological features were identified (Fenwick, Dowling and Schot 2010). These previously unrecorded features include a second potential souterrain, a substantial earthen embankment, a low-relief linear earthwork and a well, in addition to geophysical evidence of a large circular, or sub-circular, enclosure (possibly a ringfort) (ME019-090---) and an adjacent field system (ME019-091----). All are situated in close proximity to one another on elevated ground overlooking the River Boyne, some 200m to the south. (Fenwick et al. 2012) Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 11 November 2013 See attached jpeg image which shows location map of souterrain and other archaeological features, taken from Fenwick, Dowling and Schot 2010 report.
- ME019-090: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME019-090----. A geophysical survey undertaken in 2010 identified a series of overlapping enclosures (Fenwick, Dowling & Schot 2010). The outermost enclosure is defined by a broad, semi-circular band (Wth 2m), probably the remains of a ditch enclosing a circular area (est. diam. 40m). A gap in the NE may mark the former entrance (Wth 5m). A broad bank of low negative responses indicates the presence of an earthen bank associated with this ditch. Within this enclosure is a narrow curving band that may be a palisade trench. (Fenwick et al. 2012, fig. 4) Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 12 November 2013 See attached jpeg image which shows location map of the enclosure and other archaeological features, taken from Fenwick, Dowling and Schot 2010 report.
- ME019-091: Field system, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME019-091----. A geophysical survey undertaken in 2010 revealed evidence for a series of linear features which indicate a relict field system (Fenwick, Dowling and Schot 2010). See attached jpeg image which shows location map of the field system and other archaeological features, taken from Fenwick, Dowling and Schot 2010 report. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 12 November 2013.
- ME019-101: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME019-101----. A semi-circular enclosure on the north bank of the river Boyne, identified from Lidar survey of the Boyne Valley (Davis et al 2010, 171). Recorded by Davis as site E4-i (Davis et al 2010, 171). This may be the same feature as depicted on the first edition of the OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout See attached Lidar image showing Site E4-i, taken from Davis et. al. 2010.

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.
