- ME025-014 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on top of a hillock in an undulating landscape. This is depicted as an oval copse (dims c. 75m E-W; c. 50m N-S) annotated ‘Fort’ on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a subrectangular field (dims 50m E-W; c. 45m N-S) on the 1908 edition. It is described in 1969 (SMR file) as a circular grass-covered and slightly domed area with some tree-stumps (diam. 42m NE-SW; 40m E-W) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank but there is no evidence of an outer fosse. There is a slight inner bank W-NNW and the bank is fairly straight on the N side. There are gaps in the bank at ENE, SSW and WSW but the original entrance is not identified. The rath is surrounded by modern field banks. Archaeological monitoring (00E0058) by A. Wallace of works connected with the construction of houses immediately to the E produced no related material (excavations.ie 2000:766), although some worked flints had been recovered from the ploughed field. 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 upload: 10 July 2007 Amended: 29 March 2023
- ME025-068 Enclosure
Description
Situated on a rise in a fairly level landscape. A general magnetic gradiometer survey (09R0075) by J. M. Leigh with detailed targeting at selected points was conducted in a large development area (c. 22 ha), which resulted in the identification of two enclosures defined by fosses. This enclosure presented as a subcircular area (int. dims c. 42m NW-SE; c. 34m NE-SW) defined by a single fosse with an entrance (Wth c. 3m) at SE. The fosse (Wth c. 2.5m) is replaced by two narrow fosses NE-SE. A small ring-ditch (int. diam. c. 4m) defined by a wide fosse (Wth c. 2m) with an entrance (Wth c. 2m) at S is also recorded in the NW quadrant of the enclosure and field ditches connect with the fosse of the rath at N, SE and SW. Much of the proposed development area was archaeologically tested (10E0033) by M. Saunderson (2010) over two weeks during February 2010 which produced little evidence of archaeological features outside the two recognised enclosures. Trenching at this enclosure confirmed the findings of the gradiometer survey. The enclosing fosse (Wth c. 2-3m) was exposed at five points, including one at E where the slighter double fosse was confirmed. Numerous internal features were also exposed. It is intended to preserve what is probably the remains of a rath within a green area in any future development. (Saunderson 2010, 25-30) See the attached plan from Saunderson (2010, fig. 4) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 31 March 2023 Leigh, J.

- ME025-080 Ringfort - rath
Description
Located at the N edge of a fairly level landscape and at the crest of a steep slope down into a short SW-NE valley (Wth of top c. 100m NW-SE; D c. 5m) that opens out to the NE. A general magnetic gradiometer survey (09R0075) by J. M. Leigh with detailed targeting at selected points was conducted in a large development area (c. 22 ha), which resulted in the identification of two enclosures defined by fosses. This enclosure presented as an oval area (dims c. 45m N-S; c. 35m E-W) defined by a single fosse with a possible entrance at SE. There are what might be two quarries in the E part of the interior. Much of the proposed development area was archaeologically tested (10E0033) by M. Saunderson (2010) over two weeks during February 2010 which produced little evidence of archaeological features outside the two recognised enclosures. Trenching at this enclosure confirmed the findings of the gradiometer survey. The enclosing fosse was exposed at six points but only sampled (Wth of top 0.7m; D 0.2m) at one, and the fosse appeared to be narrower at the other points. The enclosure, which is probably a rath, is preserved in green area within the new housing development (Saunderson 2010, 20-23 (fig. 15). This enclosure was excavated (18E0105) by J. Purcell in March 2018 (excavations.ie 2018:819) when a wide area was stripped. The enclosure (diam. 30m) was defined by a slight fosse (Wth up to 1m; D 0.2-0.3m) which could only be traced NW-E-SE, and it had a gap at NE. The fill of the ditch was silt with redeposited subsoil and small stones. A small stretch of black soil was in the base of the fosse but no artefacts or dating material was recovered from it. The enclosure is within a green area of Clauin Adain housing estate. (Purcell 2018) See the attached image from Leigh (2010, fig. 9) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 4 April, 2023 Leigh, J.
