## Designated sites (National Parks and Wildlife Service)

No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Lisdonny.

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

- MO020-011: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO020-011----. Located at the summit of a NNW-SSE drumlin ridge. This rath is represented on McCrea’s Map of County Monaghan (1793). A large D-shaped embanked enclosure (ext. dim. c. 50m NW-SE) is also depicted here on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, but there is a gravel pit in the interior and the monument is truncated at NE by a NW-SE road. By the 1907 edition a NE-SW field bank had reduced it further to a small quadrant SE of this feature, which was all that was extant in 1968 when it was described as a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 20m NE-SW; 10.5m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (at ESE: Wth of base 3.6m; Wth of top 1.2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.8m) with no visible fosse E-WSW. Even this had been removed by 1995 (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. 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.
