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

- OF010-009: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF010-009----. Poorly preserved possible ringfort in low lying area and partly built on by farm sheds. Circular area (int. dims. 30m N-S) defined by low earthen bank or scarp and shallow external fosse. Described in 1977 as, 'a poorly preserved circular ringfort. The earthwork is outlined on east by slight remains of a low bank of earth with a shallow fosse outside it. On south there is a low scarp with a modern drain beyond it, while on west there is a very low broken down scarp. On the northern side the earthwork is bounded by a low bank & fosse which form part of the field boundary. The interior of the site is fairly even & is featureless. The diam.[eter] of the interior is approx. 30m north-south. This earthwork is in fairly flat pasture land, moderately drained' (ASI file 1977). Depicted as a tree-ring and not as an antiquity on the 1838 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and on the revised 1908 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular grove of trees. The site is located 450m N of Kilduff House and may have been built as a tree-ring forming part of the landscaping of the land around Kilduff House. On the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map the site appears to be a tree-ring forming part of the landscaped lands of Kilduff House. It is possible that this was originally a ringfort that was re-used as a tree-ring or alternatively that this feature was constructed in the 18th/19th century as a tree-ring. In 2002 archaeological testing was carried out by John Purcell under licence no. 02E1182 as part of the planning schedule for a single-house development near an earthwork (OF010-009----). Four trenches were excavated by mechanical digger. No features or finds of archaeological significance were revealed. 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. Compiled by Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: 23 December 2011

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.
