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

- ME049-020: Barrow - ring-barrow, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME049-020----. Located in a fairly level landscape. A small embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) is depicted only on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Fort’. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 9m) defined by two concentric fosses and outer banks (max. ext. diam. 25m). It is faintly visible on Google Earth (28/06/2018). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 27 August 2019
- ME049-030: Ring-ditch, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME049-030----. Situated on a slight rise in a level landscape. The cropmark of a small circular area (int. diam. c. 5m) defined by a wide fosse feature (Wth c. 3m) is visible on Google Earth (28/06/2018). It was first reported by Anthony Murphy. Archaeological testing (20E0404) by M. McCormick c. 100m to the W at the closest point produce no related material (excavations.ie 2020:248). See the attached enhanced view from Google Earh Compiled by Michael Moore Date of upload: 18 July 2019 Amended: 10 February 2021
- ME049-037: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME049-037----. Located on a gentle W-facing slope c. 50m from a NW-SE section of the Rye Water c. 30m to the SW, and on the NW side of a NE-SW mill-race. It was first identified by L. Coen as an area with concentrations of burnt stone during archaeological monitoring (18E0296) of works associated with flood relief (excavations.ie 2018:668), and subsequently fully excavated (18E0377) by the same archaeologist (excavations.ie 2018:670). Four areas of broken and burnt stone in a black peaty clay matrix (dims 2m x 1.5m to 3m x 2m; T 0.05-0.17m) were uncovered. All appeared to be re-deposited and the area was traversed by a modern NE-SW filed drain. (Coen 2019) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 27 September 2021

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).

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

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.
