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

- RO007-038001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO007-038001-. On the lower S-facing slopes of a rise, c. 80m from the N shore of an arm (dims c. 750m N-S; c. 350m E-W) of Lough Eidin, and probably a chapel-of-ease serving a portion of Arcarn parish on this shore of the lough. This is a rectangular structure (int. dims 17.6m NE-SW; 8.5m NW-SE) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 2.3-2.5m; H 0.2-0.5m) within a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 70m E-W; c. 35m N-S) which has the straight side at N. There is no evidence of burial although there is local knowledge of bones (RO007-038004-) having been found SE of the church. There is a bullaun stone (RO007-038002-) of limestone (dims 0.60m x 0.55m; H 0.5m) with a central, circular basin (diam. 0.3m; D 0.19m) within the church. A low scarp c. 22m E of the church may represent part of an original enclosure (RO007-038003-). Archaeological testing (19E0066) for a forestry road at the W edge of the field c. 50m distant produced no related material (Henry 2019: excavations.ie 2019:561).

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.
