- MO023-019001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO023-019001-. Located at the crest of the N-facing slope of a drumlin. This rath is represented on McCrea’s Map of County Monaghan (1793) and on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 34.5m E-W; 31m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank separated by a fosse from an outer, flat-topped earthen bank (at N: Wth of top 7.5m) that has traces of small earthen banks (H 0.4m) on its inner and outer edges SSW-W-NNE but these morph into a single large bank elsewhere. There is also an external fosse that is surrounded by a field bank. The entrance through the inner (Wth of base 2.9m) and outer (Wth of base 3.2m) banks and a causeway (Wth of top 3.8m; H 0.6m) are at ENE, the lowest point of the interior. A sunken area (L 8.8m; Wth 4.1m; max. D at NW 0.8m), which may be a collapsed souterrain although no stone is evident, extends from just W of the centre to the inner bank at WNW. 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: 19 June 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.
