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

- WM002-003: Castle - motte, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWM002-003----. Situated on natural rise of reclaimed pasture-land with wide views of the surrounding countryside. Inny River 170m to W, motte located on edge of floodplains of the nearby river. Poorly drained land and bog to the S. Heavily overgrown flat-topped steep-sided earthen mound (H c. 6m) with slight suggestion of a fosse at the base of the mound. No bailey visible. There are a series of banks and slight ditches about the foot of the motte. There are natural hollows to the SE and SW which appear to have contained water at one time. The archaeological significance of these features is uncertain, they could have functioned as possible fish-ponds. Fredengren et al. (2010, 120) recorded that 'The motte at Doon originally possessed a small bailey, which was destroyed in the late twentieth century, but a probable fish-pond beside it survives, suggesting that the site was the caput of a knight of some status'. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 21 November 2016.

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.
