- RO050-050: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO050-050----. In level ‘improved’ pasture. Visible on Bing aerial imagery (https://www.bing.com/maps/?cp=53.382558%7E-8.167236&lvl=17.9&style=a) as a circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by the soilmark of a fosse (Wth 2-4m). Earlier Google Earth aerial imagery (18-4-2015) shows an overgrown bank curving NW-N-NE along the N limits of the site – suggesting a later field boundary incorporating section of a pre-existing enclosure, or curving to avoid one. Slightly later Google Earth aerial imagery (15-3-2016) shows fresh-looking clearance with the feature and associated field boundaries levelled. See attached images: • RO050-050---- / RO051-112----_01 Snip of Bing aerial image. • RO050-050---- / RO051-112----_02 Snip of Google Earth aerial images dated 18-4-2015 and 15-3-2016 Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy based on details provided by Anne-Karoline Distel.

Marked as a circular enclosure on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the summit of an E-W ridge towards the W end. Circular flat-topped and grass-covered mound (diam. of top 8.3m N-S; diam. of base 13.5m N-S; H 0.2-0.5m) separated by a fosse (Wth of base 3.8m at N to 7.5m at S; D 0.45-0.55m) from an outer earth and stone bank (Wth 4.8-5m; int. H 0.45-0.55m; ext. H 0.15-0.3m) which is disturbed NNE-ENE. There are traces of an external fosse or drain (at WSW: Wth of base 1.4m) most evident SSW-WSW (max. ext. diam. 34.5m N-S). Rath (RO051-070----) is c. 140m to the E. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO051-070: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO051-070----. On the crest of an E-W ridge towards the E end. Circular scrub-covered area (diam. 35.8m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5.3-8.3m; int. H 0.8-1.2m; ext. H 1.7-2.1m) separated by a fosse (at NW: Wth of top 6m; Wth of base 2.1m; D 1.5m) from an outer bank (at NW: Wth 2.6m; H 0.8m) with some bushes which is incorporated into a field bank. There is no visible entrance, and both banks are removed N-ESE. Ring-barrow (RO051-069----) is c. 140m to the W. See the attached view taken from the NE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO051-071: Castle - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO051-071----. Situated on the W bank of a small S-N stream and at the N edge of a bog that extends off to the S. A structure is described in gothic lettering as Newcommen Castle on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, but on the 1915 ed. the location has moved eastwards, closer to the stream. An overgrown cairn (diam. c. 15m; H 1m) of stone with mortar adhering at this location is probably spoil from the castle rather than a children's burial ground, which it is locally thought to be. This was removed in Jan. 2007 but no features were uncovered. A double carhouse of 18th or 19th century date c. 50m to the W is on the site of Newcommen Castle. In 1617 Knock belonged to Donogh McKeogh (Moore 1978, 60). A castle and a mill are marked at Knock on the Strafford map of c. 1636 and in 1641 Feogh Mc Donnagh Keogh held 116 acres at Knock. However, by the 1660s this had passed to Sir Thomas Newcomen, who had acquired an estate of 1000 acres in Taghmaconnell parish (Simington 1949, 102-06). The Newcomen family came to Taghmaconnell from Co. Longford during the Cromwellian period and are thought to have built near a Keogh castle at Knock, but had built Camlagh House (RO050-012----), c. 4km to the NW before 1740.

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.
