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

- MO027-050: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO027-050----. Located towards the top of the NW-facing slope of the spine of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 27.5m N-S; c. 26m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5.6-6.2m; int. H 0.5-0.7m; ext. H 2.6-3m) separated by a flat-bottomed fosse re-cut as a drain (Wth of base 1-1.4m) in places from an outer overgrown bank (Wth of base 4.2-4.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.3-1.5m) with the remains on an outer stone facing as it was all utilised as a field bank. There is an entrance through the inner bank (Wth of base 2.3m) and a stone-lined causeway (Wth of top 1.7m; H 1.15m) at SE, but there is no gap through the outer bank. A sunken area (L 6m; Wth 2.4m; D 0.6m) extends SE from a break in the bank at NW with a spur (L 6.5m; Wth 2m; D 0.5m) extending N from a point close to its SE end. This is probably a collapsed souterrain, although no stone is present. 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: 30 January 2018
- MO027-050001: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO027-050001-. Located towards the top of the NW-facing slope of the spine of a NW-SE drumlin ridge, and inside the bank of rath (MO027-050----) at NW. A sunken area (L 6m; Wth 2.4m; D 0.6m) extends SE from a break in the bank with a spur (L 6.5m; Wth 2m; D 0.5m) extending N from a point close to its SE end. It is probably a collapsed souterrain, although no stone is present. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 30/01/2018

Located towards the top of the SE-facing slope of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) is depicted here on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. A curving field bank NE-S (Chord c. 25m) and hedge survive which respect the enclosure or incorporate part of the original bank of what is known locally as a ‘fort’. 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: 31 January 2018
- MO027-112: Kiln - lime, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO027-112----. Located on the NE-facing slope of a hill and incorporated in a field boundary. It is depicted as a rectangular structure at the E end of a short lane leading W to a cottage on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The cottage is c. 40m to the SW but is now derelict. The lime-kiln was discovered during drainage and reclamation work in 1985. This is a drystone-built structure of which two walls (L of both walls c. 2.2m; H c. 1.2m) and the remains of what appears to be a corbelled roof survive. It is overgrown with nettles and brambles and a large amount of collapsed stone is on the floor. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 14 April 2011

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.
