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

- WM001-060: Cairn - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWM001-060----. Situated on top of Mullagh Hill with panoramic views in all directions. Good view of Lough Sheelin 3.8km to N. Small irregular shaped cairn (Diam. 7m; H 0.4m) with faint traces of a possible external bank visible as a low rise of ground in places at a distance of c. 2m from base of cairn material. This cairn marks the spot height of 261m OD. The monument could be the remains of a 19th century cairn constructed by the Ordnance Survey. Alternatively it could be the remains of a prehistoric cairn that was reused by the OS in the 19th century. Cairn was used as a penitential cairn / mass site in the 17th/18th century. Local folklore recorded at Finnea National School in the late 1930s recorded the following details 'On the top of Mullagh Hill near Foyran, Co. Westmeath there is a big stone with some letters inscribed on it. In years gone by Bishop Hughes [Hugh] said mass on this stone’ (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0719, Page 032; www.duchas.ie). I was unable to locate any large stone used as a mass rock with an inscription in the vicinity of the cairn. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 14 September 2018

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.
