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

- WM031-001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWM031-001----. Situated on the edge of a rise, in gently undulating pasture land, with good views of the surrounding landscape. Depicted on the 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as the arc of a scarp, which based on the curvature, formed the western arc of a larger earthwork. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly semicircular-shaped area (diam. 36m N-S) defined by a scarp from S-W-N. A low bank can be traced from NE-E-SE. There is a gap from N-NE. The interior is level with a depression near the scarp at S. The ground level to W of the embankment is lower than the interior. Partially levelled ringfort visible today as a tree-lined arc of a bank from SSW-W-NNW and what appears to be a vague cropmark from NNW-N-E-S-SSW on Digital Globe aerial photography. This ringfort may have been reused as a burial mound during the 17th century. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 11 November 2019
- WM031-002: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWM031-002----. Situated in low-lying wet pasture with stream immediately to W. Depicted on the 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as the arc of a scarp, which based on the curvature, may have formed the western arc of a larger enclosure. Partially levelled ringfort described in 1973 as an irregular semicircular-shaped elevated area (diam. 30m N-S) defined by a scarp from S-W-N. There is no visible surface trace of the scarp continuing to E to enclose a specific oval or circular-shaped area. Nevertheless this piece of ground is referred to locally as ‘the fort’ which may confirm that the E portion of the monument was levelled in antiquity. The interior is relatively level, rising slightly towards the centre with a few stones projecting from the surface in the E portion. Partially levelled monument is visible today as a tree-lined arc of an enclosure on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

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.
