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

- TS082-064: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTS082-064----. On gradual NE-facing slope, just off crest, in undulating terrain, under pasture. Small roughly circular ringfort (diam. 26.7m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by a round-topped bank (Wth 3.3m crest, 5.1m base; int. H 0.73m; ext. H 1.65m) with a high stone content; flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 2.1m; D 1.52m) and outer bank (Wth 3.55; ext. H 0.5m). The banks are very overgrown with scrub, brambles and nettles. The vegetation is encoaching on the interior which is grass covered. An internal stone revetment is clearly visible on the bank in the N and SE quadrants. The monument is enclosed in the NE and SW quadrants by field boundaries running NW-SE. In the NE quadrant the outer face of the bank has been quarried into destroying the fosse and outer bank. The fosse is wider in the SE quadrant due to cattle erosion and the bank is quite denuded at S. There is an entrance in the E quadrant (Wth 1.4m), the ground 2m E of this has been quarried out.

- TS082-065: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTS082-065----. On top of the NE edge of a NW-SE ridge, in undulating terrain, under pasture. Monument depicted on the 1st (1840) and 1904-05 ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 38m N-S; c. 39m E-W), the E-S-SW portion of which is enclosed by a bank which also acts as a townland boundary, running NE-SW. In 1957 the site was inspected for inclusion in Land Project works and was deemed to be a 'small field or garden' (OPW files, 24th April 1957). The site was subsequently levelled. Only the NW quadrant survives as a curving earthen field boundary with a high stone content (Wth 1.4m crest, 2m base; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.9m) and slight trace of an external fosse (Wth 1.7m; D 0.3m). A farm house located c. 40m to the NE has been largely demolished. The depiction on the enclosure on the OS 6-inch maps and the fact that the townland boundary kinks out to respect it, would suggest that is was a ringfort which was probably later used as a small field. On the 1840 6-inch OS map a lime kiln is depicted c. 14m NNW of the monument. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 10 February 2014

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.
