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

- WI043-017: Road - unclassified togher, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI043-017----. This monument is indicated as ‘Kirk’s Togher’ on the 1st and 2nd ed. 6-inch OS map and appears to be the section of road which runs NNW-SSE across a strip of bog, joining two areas of dry land, as clearly depicted on the 1st ed. map. The togher was mistakenly identified as a feature to the NW, which is in fact a stream running NE-SW, parallel to and S of another public road. It is likely that the togher is under the modern road surface. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 15 October 2012
- WI043-024: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI043-024----. On gentle NW to W facing slope. There is no visible trace at ground level of the oval enclosure (c. 20m NE-SW, c. 23m NW-SE) indicated on the 2nd ed. 6-inch OS map. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 17 October 2012

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.
