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

- RO006-118001: Henge, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO006-118001-. On top of the SW summit of a NE-SW ridge. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 80m E-W; 73m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 7m at W to 11.3m at E; int. H 0.6m at W to 1.75m at E; ext. H 1.25-1.75m). There is no visible entrance and there is no surface evidence of the internal fosse and central platform recorded by Knox (1914b, 348). The large bowl-barrow (RO006-118002-) is outside the perimeter at E, and the perimeter of the enclose is straightened on this side. Bowl-barrow (RO010-001----) is c. 380m to the SW, and the henge (RO006-118007-) is c. 300m to the E. (Stout 1991, 283, west; Condit 1993) See the attached aerial image taken from the N. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

On top of the S summit of a NE-SW ridge. Circular grass-covered and flat-topped earthen mound (diam. of base 33m N-S; 30m E-W; diam. of top 11m; H 5.2-5.3m) defined by a fosse (Wth of top 7m at E to 9.8m at S; D 0.05m at S to 1m at E), with a small mound (diam. c. 3.5-3.75m; H 0.3m) on the summit (max. ext. diam. 45m). The embanked enclosure (RO006-118001-) is immediately outside the perimeter at W, and the fosse of the barrow may have straightened the bank of the enclosure here. Knox (1914b, 348-9) describes traces of an outer bank, and it may be an inauguration mound, although there are no historical references (FitzPatrick 2004, 82-4). See the attached aerial image taken from the N with the barrow on the left. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

Towards the top of the SW-facing slope of the NE summit of a NE-SW ridge. Marked as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and visible on aerial photographs as a large enclosure defined by a wide fosse with traces of an internal and external bank (CUCAP: AHN 3-6) which appears to have had an entrance at SE. It has been removed since the 1970s and is visible today as a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.1-0.5m). Archaeological testing (99E0233; 99E0366) associated with a NNW-SSE road c. 50m to the W failed to produce any related archaeological material (Moore 2000; Swan 2000b), and neither did testing (06E0297) c. 100m to the WNW (Henry 2009a). Ring-barrow (RO006-118005-) is c. 30m to the E. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

Circular grass-covered platform (diam. 6.5m; H 0.05-0.1m) defined by a fosse (Wth of top 4.5m) and outer bank (Wth 3.7m; H 0.2m) with a second external fosse (Wth of top 3.5m; D 0.1-0.2m) and a second external bank (Wth 3.3m; H 0.1m), all of which only survive S-W. It is now incorporated into a golfing tee, and the rath (RO006-118004-) is c. 30m to the W while barrow (RO006-118006-) is c. 80m to the E. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

On a shelf of the SE-facing slope of a NE-SW ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 63m N-S; 60m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 8-11.3m; int. H1.3-1.55m; ext. H 0.7-1.8m) S-W and a scarp down to the interior (H 0.55-1.35m) elsewhere. There is an entrance (Wth 6-6.5m) at SE, and the site is now on a golf-course. It is visible as a complete enclosure on aerial photographs (CUCAP: AHN 8; AJO 20; AVI 29,30) with a second entrance at N. A henge (RO006-118001-) is c. 300m to the W, and barrows (RO006-118005-; RO006-118006-; RO006-118008-) are within 120-190m to the NNW, N and E.

Visible on aerial photographs (ACAP V227/29,30), and situated on a steep NW-facing slope. A series of earthen banks (Wth 4m; H 0.05-0.2m) extend WNW-ESE (L c. 300m) over an area of 8 ha (c. 20 acres).

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.
