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

- RO004-062: Megalithic tomb - court tomb, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO004-062----. At the crest of a N-facing slope in a clearing in mixed woodland overlooking Lough Meelagh, which is c. 120m to the N. This is a two-chambered gallery (L 8.2m NW-SE; Wth 1.15-1.6m NE-SW), of which the NW chamber survives complete with jamb stones, but the other chamber that was attached to a circular court (diam. 4.7-4.8m) is largely missing. Eight orthostats of the court remain upright, including the jamb-stones of the entrance to the gallary, and the court was probably open at SE. No lintels and no evidence of a cairn survive. See the attached view taken from the SE. See attached document with plan and sections of the monument. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

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).

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.
