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

- MO019-021: Megalithic tomb - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO019-021----. Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape between drumlins with a small pot lough (diam. c. 100m) c. 150m to the E. It is depicted only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘Giants Grave’. Two orthostats support a lintel, which could be interpreted as the entrance to a court tomb (de Valera 1960, 131). 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: 22 June 2018
- MO019-022: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO019-022----. Situated on the summit of a WNW-ESE drumlin ridge. This is a circular overgrown area (diam. 25.6m E-W; 25m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at NNE: Wth of base 4.2m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.1m) N-E-S that is reduced to a scarp elsewhere. There is no visible fosse, although there is and earth and stone field bank at the base of the external scarp. The entrance (Wth of base 2m) is at ESE. There is a D-shaped depression (dims 8.5m x 2.2m; D 0.3-0.5m), probably a quarry, inside the bank at SW but a rectangular depression (dims 8.5m N-S; 2.9m E-W; max. D 1.35m) extending N-S through the bank at S with a spur (dims 4.5m x 3.5m) inside the bank on the W side could be a destroyed souterrain although there is no stone 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: 22 June 2018.
- MO019-022001: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO019-022001-. Situated on the summit of a WNW-ESE drumlin ridge. A rectangular depression (dims 8.5m N-S; 2.9m E-W; max. D 1.35m) extending N-S through the bank of rath (MO019-022----) at S with a spur (dims 4.5m x 3.5m) inside the bank on the W side could be a destroyed souterrain although there is no stone present.

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.
