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

- MO018-015: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO018-015----. Located on top of a drumlin. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 30-35m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, and the circular feature is still extant on the 1907 later edition. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 25m WNW-ESE; 24m NNE-SSW) that is now used as a haggard with trees planted on the perimeter. It is defined by traces of an earthen bank that is largely reduced to a scarp (at N: H 1.2m) and an outer fosse that is replaced by a lane SW-N-SSE. An entrance at E (Wth of base 2m) could be the original entrance. 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: 18 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.
