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

- SL008-122: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL008-122----. Situated on a slight NE-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. A steep natural N-NE facing slope defines the edge of the site NW-SE. Oval raised area (dims. 33m WNW-ESE; 26m NNE-SSW) enclosed an internal bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.7m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 3.25m). At the external foot of the internal bank is the first fosse (Wth 6.5m). Immediately outside the first fosse is an intermediate bank of earth (Wth 5.7m; H 0.8m). At the external foot of the intermediate bank is a second fosse (Wth 3.2m). Immediately outside the second fosse is an external bank of earth (Wth 3.4m; H 0.7m). At the external foot of the external bank is a third fosse (Wth 3.1m; D 1m). From NW-NE the internal bank is absent and the internal enclosing element is a slight broad scarp (H 0.4m) that merges with the steep NE-facing slope. A modern drystone field wall and post-and-wire fence extends along the top of the internal bank WSW-NW. The first fosse, intermediate bank and second fosse are absent NW-E and the external bank and the third fosse are absent NW-SE due to the steep NE-facing slope that abuts the NE side of the site. A modern drain has been cut along the base of the external fosse SE-SSE and the external side of the external fosse has been re-cut and lined with modern drystone walling SSE-SW. A break (Wth 2.5m) in the internal, with a corresponding break in the intermediate bank, and a causeway (Wth 2.5-4m) across the first and second fosses marks the position of the original entrance.

- SL008-123: Ringfort - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL008-123----. Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating pasture. Depicted on the 1837-8 and 1940-1 editions of the 6'' OS 6-inch map as acircular enclosure (diam. c.20m). The monument is densely overgrown and inaccessible. It appears to be defined by an inner bank (H c.2m), a fosse and an outer bank (H c.1.5m). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

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.
