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

- MO031-054: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO031-054----. Located towards the bottom of a S-facing slope. The souterrain was known locally since the 1920s but was recorded in 1984 when it came to attention because of a partial collapse. The original entrance was inaccessible but the passage led N through a narrow point (Wth 0.45-0.5m) and turned E (L 3.5m; Wth c. 0.5m; H 0.8 at W to 1.25m at E) where it opened out (Wth 0.9m; L 1.5m; H 1.25m) with an opening (Wth 0.25m; H 0.6m; L 0.25m plus) to the N that might have led to another blocked passage. The main passage continued E and broadened into a slightly wider chamber where the collapse occurred (total accessible L 8m). The souterrain is now closed. (Buckley 1986) 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. Date of revision: 1 September 2017
- MO031-055: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO031-055----. Situated on a rise on the lower SE-facing slope of a NW-SE ridge. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 30m N-S) that slopes down to the S (H 2.2m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.6m) NW-N that is reduced to an overgrown scarp (at S: Wth 5m; H 2m) elsewhere. The perimeter is truncated N-SE by a NW-SE field bank. There is no visible fosse or identifiable 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. Date of revision: 31 July 2017
- MO031-056: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO031-056----. Situated on the summit of a N-S drumlin ridge. It is depicted as an arc of an earthen bank (Chord c. 20m) at the E edge of an embanked enclosure and described as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is represented as an arc of hachures on the 1907 edition. An overgrown N-S mound (L 14.5m; Wth of base 7.2m; Wth of top 2.5m; H 0.65m at N to 1.1m at E), which is probably the spoil from the monument, remains. 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. Date of revision: 31 July 2017

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.
