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

- ME051-002: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME051-002----. Located on a fairly level landscape with an E-W road just to the N. The faint cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) defined by a single fosse is visible on oblique aerial photographs (CUCAP: BDK006-007) from 1970. A gradiometer survey (18R0178) by J. Leigh proved inconclusive, and archaeological testing (18E0445) by F. O’Carroll in a trench parallel with the road bank and probably just N of the enclosure produced no evidence of it, although an area of burning did come to light and is preserved in situ. (O’Carroll 2019) 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.

Situated on a level landscape with a N-S section of the Pinkeen River c. 75m to the W. This was described in 1969 (SMR file) as a slightly raised and grass-covered circular area (diam. 42m NW-SE; 39m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (at SE: Wth of base 5.2m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.2m; at NW: Wth of base 9m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.9m), with an external fosse ENE-SE and NW-N (at NW: Wth 2.2m; ext. D 0.3m). There were modern gaps at SW and N but the original entrance (Wth 2m) was at E. Its visible profile had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

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.
