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

- OF021-004: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF021-004----. Not visible at ground level. Potential possible enclosure identified from GSI aerial photographs taken in 1974 (GSI N 619/20). 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
- OF022-001: House - fortified house, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF022-001----. Situated on flat well drained land with good views. Poorly preserved L-plan house (ext. dims. 29.7m E-W; 28m N-S; wall T 0.8m) three storeys high with attic above which is lit by two small windows on the W gable one either side of the chimney flue which has three Jacobean style chimney stacks constructed with brick. Directly opposite the destroyed door on the S wall there is a gabled projecting tower from the N wall which contained the stairs now destroyed with a later brick lined round arched window. Windows are all large rectangular flat headed types. Evidence of possible bawn wall to the S of the house. The W end of the house is orientated on an E-W axis while the E end is orientated on a N-S axis and is only two storeys high with later structure added to the E end of the N wall. All fireplaces have spiral chimney flues which feed into one central chimney stack, this can be seen on the W gable and at the E end of the N wall. As a result all fireplaces are set off centre on the wall. Probable late 17th-century house built on the site of Mac Coghlan castle mentioned in the Annals of the Four Masters in the year 1556 (ITA Survey 1942). (Cooke 1875, 335; O' Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 59; Garner 1985, 39) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

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.
