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

- WI031-103: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI031-103----. This is the record for the burnt mound excavated by Yvonne Whitty (E3247) on the N11 road improvement scheme. There were three phases of activity on the site. The earliest comprised a stone working area and a wooden-lined trough. A radiocarbon date placed this phase of activity in the early Bronze Age. Twenty sherds of early Neolithic Carinated Bowl were recovered from the burnt material associated with this phase but these were regarded as having been disturbed from their original location. The second phase comprised a trough and associated burnt spread that cut through the earlier material and this in turn was cut by a third trough, representing the third phase of activity at the site.

- WI031-104: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI031-104----. This is the record for the burnt mound excavated by Yvonne Whitty (E3248) on the N11 road improvement scheme. The burnt mound sealed a trough and two gullies and two pits that were related but not sealed by the burnt material. One retouched flint flake recovered from the feature dated it to the Bronze Age.

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.
