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

- MO019-016: Megalithic tomb - portal tomb, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO019-016----. Located on the SE-facing spine of a small NW-SE drumlin ridge. It is depicted only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘Cromlech’. It was built into the outer (SW) edge of a field bank at the SW angle of a field. The roofstone had been dislodged and the western side-stone damaged in 1847, but a scribbing at the edge of a fissure on the damaged side-stone was recorded by John O’Donovan in 1835 (Herity 2012, 182) and Graves in 1848 (Ferguson 1873). This appears to be more like runes than ogham or any other script, but the present condition of the carving is not known. The field bank had been removed by 1983 when the monument was described as a large roofstone (dims 3.4m x 2.6m; T 0.7m) supported on two side-stones (Ó Nualláin 1983, 100). (Borlase 1897 vol. 1, 294) 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. See the attached view from Borlase _1, and drawings of the inscription by O'Donovan (above) and Ferguson after Borlase _2 Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 22 June 2018

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.
