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

- SL013-018: Ringfort - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL013-018----. Situated on a low rise in gently undulating pasture. The site is much disturbed by quarrying. Remains comprise a raised circular area (diam. 23.5m) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.65m; int. H 0.85m). From SSW-NW and from E-SE the bank has been removed by quarrying and the defining element is a scarp (ext. H 0.6m). The outline of an infilled external fosse (Wth c.3m) can be traced at the outer foot of the bank and scarp. A break in the bank at E (Wth 3.5m) with a possible accompanying causeway across the fosse probably marks the position of the original entrance. There are a number of quarry holes in the interior.

- SL013-019001: Ringfort - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL013-019001-. Situated on a gentle NW - facing slope in pasture. Raised circular area (dims. 29m E-W; 28m N-S) enclosed by a narrow bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.8m). From NNE-NE the bank has been removed and the defining element is a scarp (H 0.2m). The outline of an infilled fosse is identifiable (Wth 4m) at the external foot of the bank and scarp. A break in the bank at E (Wth 2m) may mark the original entrance. There are quarry holes inside the bank at SE and SSE one of which (SL013-019002-) had erroneously been classified as a listed as a 'Building' in the RMP (1995). Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
- SL013-020001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL013-020001-. Situated on slight rise on slight NE-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (dims. 28m E-W; 27m N-S) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 8.2m; int. H 0.8m) at NW and from ENE-SE. Elsewhere the defining element is a scarp (H 1.65m). At the foot of the scarp and bank from NE-SE is a fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 0.6m). Elsewhere this has been infilled but its outline (Wth 3.5m) is identifiable from NW-NNE and SE-SW. The original entrance is visible as a 5m wide gap in bank at E with an accompanying causeway across the fosse. A length of a drystone-built boundary wall (H 0.8m; Wth 0.6m) aligned NE-SW, extends across the NW quadrant of the interior. Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 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.
