- ME009-022: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME009-022----. Located on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape with a small SW-NE stream immediately to the SE. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 44.5m ENE-WSW) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (at WSW: Wth of base 5.5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) with inner facing stones SSW-W but the bank is largely reduced to a scarp (at ENE: Wth 1.5m; H 1m). There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is not identified although there is a wide gap (Wth c. 10m) at S which is probably modern. 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. C0mpiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 31 October 2018

Located at the crest of a steep N-facing slope. It is not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map but is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: N 722/723) and on later series. This is a circular grass-covered mound (diam. 14.8m E-W; H 0.6m at W) defined by a fosse (at W: Wth of base 2.2m; ext. D 0.9m) and an outer bank (at W: Wth of base 4m; ext. H 0.4m). The bank and fosse meld into the slope E-SW and a large stone (dims 1.7m x 1m) is lying in the fosse at E (max. ext. diam. 29.6m E-W). It is bisected by an ENE-WSW fence and survives best N of this feature. 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

Located on a slight rise in a col between the Slieve na Calliagh ridge c. 400m to the S and the hill of Drumlerry rising over it c. 600m to the NW, with lower ground to the W and NE. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 40m WNW-ESE; 39m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 5-5.5m; int. H 0.2m at ESE to 0.8m at WNW; ext. H 1.8-2.1m) that is reduced to a scarp ESE-WSW, and an outer fosse (at WNW: Wth of top 6m; Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.3m) that is largely reduced to a berm (at ESE: Wth 2.3m) that melds into the ground SE-W. The original entrance is not identified. 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: 1 November 2018

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
