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

- OF038-030: Barrow - ring-barrow, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF038-030----. On top of a N-S ridge in undulating countryside. Roughly circular domed area (diam. 51m) enclosed by a wide shallow fosse (Wth 6m; ext. D 0.5m) with external bank (Wth 4m; ext. H 0.7m). W side of external bank acts as a field boundary while the SE sector of the inner fosse and external bank is destroyed. Indicated on 1840 edition of OS 6-inch map as an irregularly shaped earthwork. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
- OF042-005: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF042-005----. In pastureland in the valley of the Little Brosna River. According to local information, a mound (diam. c. 26m; H c. 0.6m) with a deep channel around it was located here. It was very overgrown with beech and cherry trees and was levelled in the late 1960s (SMR file). No visible surface trace of it survives. Apparently corn grows higher in the line of the channel. Also known locally as a fort. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 21 September 2018
- OF042-006: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF042-006----.

H 1.5 - 3m) with no evidence of an outer fosse. Modern gap at N created by farmer to gain access to interior to dump rubbish from field clearance. Interior of site is totally covered in rubbish making examination impossible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

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.
