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

- MO028-005: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO028-005----. Located at the highest point of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. It is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. At that time it was bisected by a NW-SE field bank and another field bank approached the perimeter from the SW. The visible portion NE of the NW-SE field bank had been removed by 1907 and the perimeter W-N had been altered into a straight field bank. However, a portion of the defining earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.8m) and an outer fosse or drain (Wth of top 3.6m; Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.3m) survives SE-S. 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: 6 December 2017
- MO028-006: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO028-006----. Located towards the bottom of a S-facing slope overlooking a shelf on a drumlin. This was described in 1967 as a large grass-covered circular area (diam. 51m N-S; 46m E-W) defined by an earthen bank that only survives at NW (Wth 3.6m; int. H 2m; ext. H 2m) and SE separated by a fosse (at NW: Wth of top 6.2m; Wth of base 2.4m; ext. D 2.6m; at SW: Wth of top 4.3m; Wth of base 2.6m; int. D 2.3m; ext. D 0.7m) from an outer bank (at NW: Wth 4.6m; ext. H 1.2m). The inner and outer banks were incorporated into a farm lane N-E but the original entrance was not identified. By 1995 farm buildings had been built in the N quadrant (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. Date of revision: 6 December 2017
- MO028-007: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO028-007----. Situated on a rise in a col with drumlins to the W and E but at the head of a valley that opens out to the S. This is a large subcircular grass-covered area (dim 50m NW-SE; 43.8m ENE-WSW) with visible rock outcrop defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5-6m; int. H 0.8-1m; ext. H 1.9-2.3m) with no visible evidence of a fosse. The original entrance is not identified. Rath (MO028-008----) is c. 100m to the S. 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: 6 December 2017

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.
