• ME008-051 Enclosure - large enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a N-S esker ridge A large D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 120m E-W; c. 120m N-S) defined by field banks and with the straight side (L c. 100m) at E is depicted on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘Fort’. The bank W-N incorporates the townland boundary with Ballynagranshy. It is depicted similarly on the 1908 edition but with the bank partially depicted by hachures SW-W. It is locally known as ‘Brady’s Fort’, but the perimeter at W is removed. It is possible that the original perimeter extended out to the E making an oval enclosure and that some of the original defences might survive at S. 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 October 2018

• ME014-010 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a low ridge in a gently undulating landscape. This is a subcircular area (dims 59.5m WNW-ESE; 57.5m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth of base 4.5-6m; int. H 0.3-0.4m; ext.

The defences have been quarried SE-S and an original entrance is not identified. Just N of the centre is a possible house site visible as a raised rectangular mound (dims of top 5.8m E-W; 4m N-S; H 0.3-0.6m). A second possible house site is visible as a raised rectangular mound (dims of top 6.6m x 4.4m H 0.6m) on the site of the bank at NNE. Inside the bank at ENE is a circular structure that might be a hut-site (diam. 4.2m) defined by a slight wall (Wth 0.7m; H 0.4m) with an opening (Wth 2.2m) at NNW. Just outside the rath at SW is enclosure (ME014-010003-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).
