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

- SL012-088: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL012-088----. Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on an E-facing slope in pasture. Raised oval area (dims. 28.7m NW-SE; c.18m NE-SW) enclosed at NE by the remains of a low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 3.6m; H 0.3m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 1.2m). No fosse. The site is divided into unequal portions by a modern NW-SE field boundary. The smaller portion SW of this has been levelled and only its outline is now identifiable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
- SL013-035001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL013-035001-. Situated on a low but prominent hillock in hilly, coastal pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 25.9m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth. 4.2m - 5.5m; int. H 0.1m - 1.1m). At SSW the bank has been levelled and the defining element is a scarp (H 0.8m). At the outer foot of the bank from W-WNW-NW is a narrow, shallow flat-bottomed fosse (Wth. 2.3m) with counterscarp bank (Wth. 2.3m; ext. H 0.2m). Modern break in bank at E (Wth. c.3m) probably marks the site of the original. There is a possible souterrain within interior (SL013-035002-). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
- SL013-035002: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL013-035002-. At Laragh rath (SL013-035001-). Close to the centre of the interior is a roughly rectangular, steep-sided, shallow depression (L 5.2m; Wth. 2.4m; D 0.15m - 0.4m), aligned NE-SW, which probably marks the site of a souterrain. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
- SL013-103: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL013-103----. Classified in SMR (1989) as 'Enclosure, possible' and in the RMP (1995) 'Ringfort (rath/cashel possible)'. Situated on good rolling pasture. The site is evident as a slight rise in ground close to a curving field boundary. It is best preserved on the E side of the boundary immediately behind a house.

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.
