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

- MO012-026: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO012-026----. Situated at the E end of an E-W ridge. It was described in 1968 as an overgrown oval area (dims c. 39m E-W; c. 28m N-S) defined by the remains of an earthen bank (at N: Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 3m) with an outer stone facing. There was no visible fosse but it is surrounded by a road E-SW. There was damage or what might have been an entrance (Wth of base 5m) in the perimeter at NE. In 1996 the W part of the monument was removed and the topsoil of the remainder disturbed, so that it is now reduced to a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 28m N-S; 21m E-W; H 2m). 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
- MO012-027: Crannog, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO012-027----. Located in Coaghen Lough which is depicted as a sub-triangular lough (dims c. 200m N-S; c. 200m E-W) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map, but the lake is now reduced to an L-shaped feature with the crannog in a circular N section (diam. c. 100m). This is an overgrown clay island (dims 17m E-W; 15m N-S; H 0.4m over the water) with deep water within 5m of its edge. Erosion of the surface reveals a matrix of small stones and clay with charcoal and animals bones. Four small piles and a horizontal plank were also observed. 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.
