Recorded monuments

• ME048-001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a locally prominent E-W ridge. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 44m NW-SE; 35m NE-SW) defined by the lip of a bank (int. H 0.1m at SE to c. 0.5m at NW) and a rounded fosse (Wth of top 7-12m; Wth of base c. 2m; int. D 0.7m at NW to 1.5m at SE; ext. D 0.5m) that only survives NW-E-SW. The entrance is a low causeway (Wth of top 3.4m; H 0.5m) at SSW, and the inner edge of the fosse has been quarried SW-W in the distant past. 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: 13 August 2019 Amended: 24 March 2023

• ME048-052 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a locally high hill, with an equally high summit c. 350m to the SSE. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 50m N-S) with a protrusion at NE giving it an oval appearance (dim. c. 75-80m NE-SW) is visible on Google Earth (28/06/2018). It is defined by a single fosse feature (Wth c. 2-4m), but no entrance is detected. A fosse or leat (Wth c. 4m) leads from the fosse at S off to the NE, curving around the enclosure but increasing the distance from it as it proceeds (visible L c. 70m). In the interior is a subrectangular area (dims c. 35m N-S; c. 35m E-W) defined by a lighter fosse feature with no visible entrance gap, and there may be a smaller area delimited within this. A NE-SW field bank that is depicted on the 1836 and 1912 editions of the OS 6-inch map approaching from the SW and is visible on the Google image as a double ditch, curves around the enclosure at NW and changes direction to E. The enclosure was first reported by Anthony Murphy and also reported by Jean-Charles Caillére. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 1 April 2019
