Recorded monuments

• ME013-016001 Structure
  Description

  Just NW of the centre of enclosure (ME013-016----) a two-roomed structure (dims 11.4m NE-SW; 5.4-7.3m NW-SE, crest to crest) defined by slight grass-covered earthen banks (Wth 1.9m; H 0.2-0.35m) was recorded in 1968 (SMR file) but an entrance doorway is not identified. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 1 March 2023

• ME013-056 Hut site
  Description

  Slieve Breagh is an ENE-WSW ridge (L of summit c. 500m) that is part of an NE-SW line of hills which extends from Rathkenny, Co. Meath almost to Dunleer, Co. Louth (L c. 15km). There are a number of summit ridges with high cols between them. Breagh is derived from Brega (the heights) which is also the name of the Meath territory. The E end of this summit and much of its S face in Creewood townland is now reclaimed pasture but the remainder in Rathbranchurch is unchanged from the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map and preserves a collection of earthwork monuments consisting mostly of barrows and a few raths as well as some hut-sites that were recorded in the 1950s (de Paor and Ó h-Eochaidhe 1956). There was some excavation (E000038) in the Creewood part of the complex in 1959-1961, but little is known about the results (Herity and Eogan 1977, 49). This feature was isolated in the uncultivated land on the S-facing slope of the ridge. It is described (ibid. 100, No. 27) as one of a group of oval features (dims 5.7m x 3.7m to 7.3m x 6.2m) defined by low earthen banks frequently with an entrance gap, but this one may have been excavated as there was no visible evidence of it in 1984 (SMR file). See the attached plan of the monuments from de Paor and Ó h-Eochaidhe (1956, fig. 2) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

This feature was isolated in the uncultivated land on the S-facing slope with another hut site (No. 29) c. 20m to the NE. It is described (de Paor and Ó h-Eochaidhe 1956 100, No. 28) as one of a group of oval features (dims 5.7m x 3.7m to 7.3m x 6.2m) defined by low earthen banks frequently with an entrance gap. This one seems to have been excavated and may have been one of the two circular hut-sites of late Neolithic date as its site was marked by a circle of concrete posts in 1984 (SMR file). One of the hut-sites had a double ring of posts and an entrance porch at SE, possibly more akin to a timber circle, although it also had a central hearth (Smyth 2014, 88-89). The artefacts included Grooved ware pottery, iron slag and a glass bead as well as flint, chert and quartz artefacts. This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 11/1956).
