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

- ME001-010: Concentric enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME001-010----. Located at the crest of a SE-facing slope. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 50m) defined by a scarp (max. H 1.6m at E) E-S-N that melds into the slope elsewhere, with evidence of a fosse at NNW where a NNW-SSE field bank overlies it. This is separated by a berm (Wth 10-13m) from an outer bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.3m at E to 1m at W; ext. H 1.4m at S to 2.2m at W and 3m at E) and external fosse (at NW: Wth of top 5m; Wth of base 2m; D 1m) E-S-N. The outer rampart is replaced by a field wall NNW-ENE. There is a modern entrance (Wth of base 4m) and causeway (Wth 3.8m) through the outer bank at ESE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 31 August 2018
- ME001-014: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME001-014----. Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. Archaeological monitoring (17E0038) by J. Olney of the development works associated with a windfarm extending over a wide area (max. dims c. 1.3km NE-SW; c. 1km NW-SE) identified three archaeological areas which were all resolved under the original licence. This monument consists of a spread of broken and burnt stones (dims 7m E-W; 5m plus N-S; max. T 0.2m) that extends beyond the excavated area to the SW. A rectangular wood-lined trough (dims 1.1m E-W; 0.9m N-S; max. D 0.25m) with four fills was in a larger cut (dims 1.92m N-S; 1.9m E-W; D 0.52m) just outside the NE extent of the burnt stone spread. A sample of hazel charcoal from the basal fill of this trough produced a C14 date of 2200-2020 cal. BC. About 12m to the N was a second rectangular trough (dims 1.7m NE-SW; 0.7m NW-SE; D 0.43m) which cut an earlier pit (diam. 0.4m; D 0.08m). The trough had three fills of silts and clays with varying amounts of charcoal, and these deposits were cut by the base of a pit (diam. 0.3m; D 0.1m). The base of the trough retained the impressions of four timbers from its wooden lining, and a sample of applewood from the basal layer produced a C14 date of 1670-1500 cal. BC. About 13m to the N of this again was the truncated base of a rectangular trough (dims 1.85m N-S; 1.4m E-W; D 0.22m) which retained impressions of its timber floor and had two fills. This trough was cut by a circular trough (diam. 1.7-1.85m; D 0.22m) which also retained the impression of its wooden lining and had two fills. No artefacts were recovered but the analysis of seven charcoal samples identified hazel, oak, and alder as predominant species with some willow, birch and apple.

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.
