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

- WM010-017: Earthwork, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWM010-017----. Situated on a slight natural rise surrounded by undulating rushy grassland adjacent to the Royal Canal and 95m SW of Kiddy's Bridge. Ringfort (WM010-032----) 430m to SE. Present remains consist of a D-shaped enclosure (approx. diam. 26m N-S; 38m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank. This bank is visible from NE-S-NW. The N straight edge of this monument is formed by the tow path for the Royal Canal, which cuts through the N side of the earthwork. This earthwork is depicted as a house with adjoining field boundary on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map and not as an antiquity. The earthwork probably represents the levelled remains of the post-1700 house and adjoining field boundary. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 8 June 2017
- WM010-041: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWM010-041----. Situated on low-lying grassland with restricted views. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as a sub-rectilinear shaped enclosure and annotated as a ‘fort’. Depicted as an antiquity on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map and as an irregular shaped field on subsequent editions of the OS maps. A field fence which formed the S side of this enclosure has been removed. The field fences which form the N, E & W enclosing element of the monument still survive today as field boundaries. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 9 June 2017

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.
