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

- MO028-072: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO028-072----. Situated on a steep S-facing slope in a low-lying landscape between drumlins. This was described in 1967 as a broad oval or D-shaped and overgrown area (dims 55m WNW-ESE; 38m NNE-SSW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 6m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.7m) and an outer flat-bottomed fosse (at N: Wth of top 6.6m; Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.6m) SW-N-E backing onto a steep slope (H 4.3m) down to an E-W road at S. There was an entrance (Wth of base 2.4m) at ENE. The visible monument had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). Archaeological testing (05E1064) c. 40m to the SE on the other side of the road produce no related material (Duffy 2008). 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: 6 December 2017 Amended: 14 January 2020
- MO028-073: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO028-073----. Located in a fold towards the bottom of a S-facing slope and c. 200m N of the NW angle of Moylan Lough. This is a circular overgrown area (diam. 41m NNW-SSE) that slopes down to the S. It is defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at NW: Wth 7.6m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.1m) separated by a flat-bottomed fosse (at NW: Wth of top 7.6m; Wth of base 2.4m; ext. D 1m) from an outer bank (at NW: Wth of base 5.2m; ext. H 0.8m) and outer fosse (at NW: Wth of base 1.8m; ext. D 0.3m). The outer bank is incorporated in a field bank NE-SE, and an E-W road truncates all these features at S. A gap (Wth of base 2.2m) in the inner bank at SE is probably the original entrance. Rath (MO028-074----) is c. 60m to the S. 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: 6 December 2017

Situated on a slight rise on a SE-facings slope c. 140m NW of the NW angle of Moylan Lough. This is a grass and scrub-covered subcircular area (dims 34.6m E-W; 31m N-S) defined by a slight earthen bank (at W: Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.2m) with traces of an outer rounded fosse (at W: Wth of top 4.6m; ext. D 1m) SW-NNW, but the bank is reduced to a scarp (at E: Wth 1m; H 1m) elsewhere. The original entrance is not identifiable. Rath (MO028-073----) is c. 60m to the N. 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: 6 December 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.
