U Informationforming the Basisfor the Record The information on which the list of monumentsand places for eachcounty and the mapsshowing those monumentsand places is basedis derived from that used for the non-statutory Sites and MonumentsRecords previously issued for each county by the National Monumentsand Historic Properties Service, but certain monuments have been addedand certain entries in the Sites and MonumentsRecords have not beentransferred into the statutory record as they refer to features whichhave been found on inspection not to merit inclusion in that record or they cannotbe located with sufficient accuracyto be so included. Formatof List The recorded monumentsand places in each county are numberedaccording to the OrdnanceSurvey Maps of the scale of Six Inches to OneMile ("6 Inch Sheets") for the county, and the entry for eachmonument and place is arrangedin five columns underthe following headings(the abbreviation usedin the actual list is given in bracketsafter each): 1 MonumentNumber (MON. NO.) 2 OrdnanceSurvey 6-Inch Sheet Number/Plan/Trace(SH/PL/TR) 3 National Grid Co-ordinates(NAT. GRID) 4 Townland Name(s) (-FOWNLAND) 5 Classification .... 1 MonumentNumber This refers to the unique identifying numbergiven to both monumentsand places enteredin the record and is given in a form similar to the following examplewhich refers to the first monumentor place on the first OrdnanceSurvey 6 Inch Sheetfor CountyCork: CO001-001w Eachcounty has beengiven a two letter identifying code, and this forms the first elementin the identifying number.The next element(in the aboveexample the 001- comingafter 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 Sheetswith A and B inserts and in such cases the Sheetnumber would be given in the form (for example)001A or 001Bas appropriate. The last elementgives the numberof the monumentor place within the sequenceof monumentnumbers on the particular OrdnanceSurvey 6 Inch Sheet - in the above examplethis is the 001-- at the end. Thefirst two of the three dashesat the end allow monumentsor places situated in close proximity to each other or closely associated with each other to be given one overall monumentnumber but at the sametime be individually identified throughthe use of sub-numberingin the form (for example)00101-, 00102-, 00103-, etc., as appropriate.The final dashis to allow for a situation wherea monumentor place is divided betweentwo or more Ordnance Survey6 Inch Sheetsin which case an asterisk is placed at the end of the second and subsequentmonument numbers relating to that monumentor place, thus giving (for example)the form 001-*. Non-Sequential Numbering ~Gapsin the sequenceof monumentnumbers for any particular OrdnanceSurvey 6 Inch Sheetare the result of entries in the non-statutorySites andMonuments Record having been subsumedin one monumentnumber in the statutory record or, for the reasonsgiven in the section headed"Information forming the Basis for the Record",the non-transferral of certain entries in the non-statutory Sites and MonumentsRecord to the statutory record. 2 OrdnanceSurvey 6 Inch Sheet Number/Plan~Trace EachOrdnance Survey 6 Inch Sheet is divided into sixteen equal parts knownas Plans, and eachof these Plansis divided into six equal parts knownas Traces.The general position of a monumentor place on an OrdnanceSurvey 6 Inch Sheet can thus be given by use of the Plan andTrace system. 3 National Grid Co-ordinates The ten-figure co-ordinates given in this columnindicate the position of each monumentor place with referenceto the National Grid. 4 TownlandName(s) Thetownland or townlandsin whicha monumentor place is situated are given in this column. 5 Classification Theclassification gives a brief indication of the nature of eachrecorded monument or place.

Wayin which Monumentsand Places are Shown The recorded monumentsand places are shownon the mapsby being circled or boxed in as appropriate by a black line.
