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

- MO025-022: Megalithic tomb - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO025-022----. Situated on a low-lying NW-SE spur. It is described in gothic lettering as ‘Cloghaphooka ‘ – Cloch an Phúca, the ghost’s stone – only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This ruined monument is represented by three set stones incorporated in a mound (L 4.5m; Wth 6m). One of these (dims c. 1.1m x c. 0.2m; H c. 1.4m) at the S is a tall gable-shaped stone, perhaps a back stone. Some 3m to the N are two stones, possibly jambstones (H c. 0.35; 0.45m). The area between these has been recently dug out. The remains are insufficient for a closer classification. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 27 February 2018
- MO025-045: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO025-045----. Situated on an E-facing slope. It is marked only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an arc of hachures described in gothic lettering as a ‘Cashel’. It consists of an arc (Chord 45m NE-SW) of an earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; max. H 1m) that survives E-SW and is visible on OSI aerial images (2000). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 27 February 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.
