C> Formatof List The recorded monumentsand places in each county are numberedaccording to the OrdnanceSurvey Mapsof the scale of Six Inches to OneMile ("6 Inch Sheets") for the county, and the entry for each monumentand place is arranged in five columns under the following headings (the abbreviation used in the actual list is given in brackets after each): 1 Monument Number (MON. NO.) 2 Ordnance Survey 6-Inch Sheet Number/Plan/Trace (SH/PL/TR) 3 National Grid Co-ordinates (NAT. GRID) 4 Townland Name(s) (TOWNLAND) © 5 Classification 1 Monument Number This refers to the unique identifying numbergiven to both monumentsand places entered in the record and is given in a form similar to the following examplewhich refers to the first monumentor place on Ordnance Survey 6 Inch Sheet 61 for CountyTipperary (South Riding): TI061-001 Each county has been given a two letter identifying code, and this forms the first element in the identifying number.The next element (in the above examplethe 061- coming after the county code) gives the numberof the OrdnanceSurvey 6 Inch map on which the monumentis located. The dash is so as to allow for OrdnanceSurvey C> Sheetswith A andB inserts andin suchcases the Sheetnumber would be given in the form(for example)001A or 001Bas appropriate. Thelast elementgives the numberof the monumentor placewithin the sequenceof monumentnumbers on the particular OrdnanceSurvey 6 Inch Sheet- in the above examplethis is the 001--- at the end.
