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

- MO032-004001: Burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO032-004001-. Located towards the bottom of the undulating E-facing slope of a drumlin. It is depicted faintly as trapezoidal feature (dims c. 20-4-m NW-SE; c. 20m NE-SW) described in gothic lettering as a ‘Caldragh’ or ‘Ancient Burial Ground’ on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is not visible at ground level, but there is a local tradition of bones and headstones being found during ploughing. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture but it is within an ecclesiastical enclosure (MO032-004003-), and the bullaun stone (MO032-004002-) is against the field bank just to the ESE. 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. Date of revision: 27 July 2017
- MO032-004002: Bullaun stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO032-004002-. Located at the bottom of the undulating E-facing slope of a drumlin. A bullaun stone (dims 0.6m x 0.45m; H 0.35m) with a single basin (diam. 0.25m; D 0.05m) is against a field bank at ESE on the perimeter of the ecclesiastical enclosure (MO032-004003-) and just E of the site of the burial ground (MO032-004001-). Date of upload: 14 April 2011
- MO032-004003: Ecclesiastical enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO032-004003-. Located towards the bottom of the undulating E-facing slope of a drumlin. A large enclosure (dims c. 150m N-S; c. 100m E-W) defined by field banks S-W-N and by a townaland boundary with Coolderry (par. Donaghmoyne) elsewhere is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map with a burial ground at the centre. The enclosure is a grass-covered area defined by a low grass-covered bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.2m) or scarp S-W-N and by the field bank and townland boundary elsewhere. There is no evidence of the burial ground, but a bullaun stone (MO032-004002-) is at the field bank ESE of the centre. There is a local tradition that a St. Derrig had a monastery here, but this cannot be confirmed (Ó Riain 2011). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 27 July, 2017

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.
