- MO012-023: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO012-023----. Situated on a NW-facing slope with a NE-SW stream c. 140m to the NW. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 29.5m NW-SE; 27m NE-SW) with apple trees defined by an earthen bank and a slight outer fosse E-WSW, but the bank is reduced to a scarp (at NW: Wth 1.4m; H 1.3m) and hedge elsewhere. The original entrance is not identified. 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: 29 January 2018
- MO012-024: Cairn - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO012-024----. Situated on a steep-sided hill that was known as Carn Brae. The townland is called after a cairn that is recorded in the local folklore (IFC Schools’ MSS, 951, 287: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes ) where it is described as covering a cist with bones and there were large stones at the head and foot of the cist. The bones were said to have been reburied at Magherarny Roman Catholic chapel c. 800m to the NNE, and the stones were used in mending the roads. There is no visible evidence of a cairn, but the field bank just to the N has stones and does curve a little. 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: 29 January 2018
- MO012-025: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO012-025----. Situated towards the top of the SW-facing spine of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. This rath is depicted on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793), and on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is represented as an embanked circular feature (ext. diam. c. 45-50m) described in gothic script as a ‘fort’. It is visible as a slightly raised circular grass-covered area (diam. 28m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by a slight earthen bank and a slight curve in a NE-SW field bank at SE. There is no visible fosse or entrance. 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: 29 January 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.
