the proposed Project includes the installation and operation of a Mobile Wash Plant for the grading and washing of aggregates. The Mobile Wash Plant will be used for grading and washing aggregates to National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI) Specification for use on construction projects. Aggregates will be sourced from existing stockpiles from a restoration site (PL Ref: 2360451) which bounds the area of the proposed Mobile Wash Plant. These materials will be processed through the plant and will be directed via pipeline through an existing settlement pond on site. Subsequently silts will be percolated through washed aggregates into a secondary pond for further settlement. The facility will process approximately 25,000 tonnes of material per annum, with an anticipated duration of eight years

- ME041-009 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a knoll c. 200m ENE of the summit of Dalystown Hill. This was described in 1970 (SMR file) as a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 26.5m N-S; 21.5m E-W) defined by a slight earthen bank largely reduced to a scarp (at E: Wth 3.6m; H 1.6m) with an outer fosse reduced to a berm (at E: Wth 2m) E-SW, but elsewhere the perimeter melded into the natural slope. There was a possible entrance at ENE. The concentric enclosure (ME041-010----) is c. 200m to the WSW, but this rath had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). 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: 9 August 2019
- ME041-010 Concentric enclosure
Description
Situated on the summit of a locally prominent hill, called 'Violet Hill (OS 1836) or Dalystown Hill (OS 1912). The ‘old fort’ is noted in a land sale of 1815 (Ellison 1967, 18) and it is depicted on the 1836 and 1912 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This was described in 1970 (SMR file) as a circular area (diam. 21m WNW-ESE), of which only the N part survived, defined by an earthen bank (at NNE: Wth of base 4.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.9m) and outer fosse (at NNE: Wth of top 5.3m; Wth of base 1.7m; ext. D 0.3m) WNW-N-ESE. The fosse was separated by a berm (at NNE: Wth 11m; at E: Wth 23m) from an outer bank (at NNE: Wth of base 7.4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.3m) that only survived NNW-E. An entrance through either bank was not recognised. The visible profile of the monument had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). Rath (ME041-009----) is c. 200m to the ENE. 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: 9 August 2019
- ME041-011 Ring-ditch
Description

It is also visible on OSI images (1995) and Google Earth (29/06/2018). 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: 9 August 2019
