## 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 Tavanaskea.

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

- MO015-007: Megalithic tomb - passage tomb, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO015-007----. Located in a small clearing on top of and around the middle of the N-S ridge of Mullyash Mountain. Folklore associates it with a princess who unfortunately died in a battle between her husband and her father (IFC: Schools Manuscripts (942) 353-4: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes ), and the cairn was also a centre for Lughnasa celebrations (MacNeill 1962, 161-3). This is a circular cairn (diam. of base 16m; H c. 2.5m) with a kerb of battered drystone walling (at N: H 2m) NNW-E-S but the edge of the original cairn is obscured by collapse elsewhere, and cairn material has spilled over the wall all around. Immediately W of the centre is a modern depression (diam. 3m; D 0.5m). A second inner tier of drystone kerbing is intermittently visible on the summit and there might be an entrance obscured in the cairn at W (Desmond 2000). According to Shirley (1879, 513) 'a cairn was opened … in 1816 and human bones and an earthen bowl were found' at Knocknaneen. As no known cairn exists now in Knocknaneen townland, which is the townland immediately to the N, this may refer to the Mullyash/Tavanaskea cairn. A standing stone (MO020-029----) c. 850m to the SSW in Tavanskea townland was associated with it in the Lughnasa celebrations, but the stone is now lying prone in forestry. This is a National Monument in state guardianship (NO. 564) accessed by forestry roads, and it is on the Monaghan Way, a sign-posted walking route, for which see this web-page accessed on 13/02/2018: http://blackwaterregion.com/to-do/walking/monaghan-way-walk/ 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: 26 February 2018
- MO020-029: Standing stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO020-029----. Situated in dense forestry towards the top of a S-facing slope on Mullyash Mountain. The stone is broken into two pieces (piece 1: L c. 2.2m; Wth 2.2m; T at N end 0.6m; piece 2: L c. 0.65m; Wth 0.85m; T 0.6m), and is now recumbent with a flat face of the stone visible. The stone is tapered at both ends and modern graffiti are on the upper face. The stone had a role in the Lughnasa celebrations centred on the passage tomb (MO015-007----), which is on the summit of the ridge c. 850m to the NNW (MacNeill 1962, 161-3). A long stone in Mullyash Plantation 'that had the footprint of a giant marked on it’ was noted in folk tradition (IFC Schools MSS: (942) 158; (943) 274), for which see this web-page accessed on 11/06/2018: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes Such a mark is not visible on the upper surfaces now. The folk tradition also recorded that Fionn MacCumhaill threw it the length of a field (ibid. 943, 274). Compiled by: Claire Breen Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 22 June 2017

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.
