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

- TS045-001001: Cairn - ring-cairn, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTS045-001001-. On a gentle SW-facing slope of rising ground in upland region overlooking the Gortnageragh river valley from S to W. Directly N of the ring-cairn there is an outlying low orthostat (TS045-001002-). Monument consists of a low circular rise (diam. 18m SW-NE; 19.5m NW-SE; H 0.3) of loosely piled stones or low orthostats (avg. dims. 1m x 0.5m) which in places consists of double rows of orthostats defining the perimeter of the monument which may represent internal and external kerbing containing cairn material, indicative of a poorly preserved ring-cairn. The interior is fairly open with several low mounds of loosely piled stones. In the OS Namebook (1840) the ring-cairn is described as a fort which 'has a sepulchral chamber inside it' (O'Donovan et. al.) while its local name Rathnacloghal fort is translated as the fort of the white stones.

- TS045-001002: Standing stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTS045-001002-. On a gentle SW-facing slope of rising ground, in upland region overlooking the Gortnageragh river valley. There is a ring-cairn (TS045-001001-) immediately to the S. A standing stone (0.45m x 0.23m; H 0.45m) rectangular in plan and orientated E-W. Though low in height, it is likely that this is the stone which is depicted on the 1903 revision of the OS 6-inch map as a 'Pillar Stone'. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

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.
