## 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 Newtown.

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

- OF002-009: Ringfort - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF002-009----. Formerly situated on rising gound in an area of undulating countryside. Depicted as a raised circular platform on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map and outlined as a circular feature on the 1908 ed. OS 6-inch map. Site was destroyed several years ago leaving no remains visible at ground level. An earlier report (SMR File 1977) described this monument as' an earthwork has been recently levelled. It appears to have been a ringfort approx. 25-30m in diameter. The interior was gently rounded'. 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: 19 December 2011
- OF002-011: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF002-011----. This is the site of a natural ridge which appears to have been scarped on the eastern side. This ridge is located on reclaimed land in an area full of natural eskers. It is possible that this is a natural feature of no archaeological significance due to its location and shape. The ridge only measures 12m wide which is too small for a ringfort. Indicated as a possible earthwork on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 23 May 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).

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.
