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

- MO024-019: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO024-019----. Situated on a small SE-NW spur in a low-lying position amongst drumlins, with a NE-SW stream immediately outside it to the W. This is a subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (dims 48.5m NNW-SSE; c. 40m ENE-WSW) defined by the remains of an earthen bank ESE-W-N, and a fosse across the spur ESE-S which morphs into a berm S-W-N. There is an entrance through the bank (Wth of base 2m) and causeway (Wth of top 3.8m; H 1.3m) at SE. Archaeological testing (10E0208) immediately to the SE produced no related material (McGonigle 2010, 2012). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 9 May 2018 Amended: 17 January 2020
- MO024-020: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO024-020----. Located at the S end of a short NW-SE drumlin ridge. A circular embanked enclosure with trees on the perimeter is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, and it is depicted as an arc of hachures (Chord c. 30m NE-SW) on the NW side of a NE-SW field bank on the 1907 edition. This NW segment was extant as a grass and scrub-covered platform in 1967 (diam. 26.5m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (at N: Wth 1.85m; H 1.3m). A farm track had been laid over the W quadrant by 2000 (OSAP). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 9 May 2018

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.
