## Designated sites (National Parks and Wildlife Service)

- Proposed Natural Heritage Area: Lough Gara, site code 000587

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

- RO005-012037: Settlement platform, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO005-012037-. In 1952 drainage works on the Boyle River lowered the water level of the Lough Gara lakes, and artefacts recovered from crannogs were reported to the National Museum of Ireland. That autumn, Dr. J. Raftery and Miss E. Prendergast of the Museum staff collected artefacts from about 150 crannogs which they noted in the lakes and on the Boyle River. Dr. Raftery permitted Mr. R. E. Cross, the project engineer, to publish a map (1953) based on his own preliminary survey with numbered crannogs, a copy of which is now held in the Department of Archaeology at University College Dublin. During 1953 further drainage work on the river resulted in another reduction of the water level, which revealed numerous cairns on both sides of the river below the outlet from Upper Lough Gara. Dr. Raftery was at that time engaged in excavating crannogs at Rathtinaun (SL047-021----) and Tivannagh (RO005-012003-), but undertook in his free time to supervise an instrument survey of these additional features, which were not expected to survive and which were not properly understood. This mapped survey, from which no artefacts were recovered, is known as the Forsyth survey after one the surveyors, whose name appears on one of the finished maps. It did not necessarily include a revisit of Raftery’s 1952 preliminary survey, and where it did a natural concordance does not always occur. The Forsyth survey is retained in the National Museum of Ireland. This feature is recorded only on the Forsyth survey and is depicted as a small cairn (diam. c. 5m) with a recorded altitude of 219.46 feet above the datum of Poolbeg Lighthouse. It is on the S shore of a WSW-ENE section of the Boyle River above Lough Gara Lower at a point where the river turns N to enter the lake. It is currently in pasture (Bing 2013).

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.
