• ME022-029 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a hillock in an undulating landscape. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 22.5m NNE-SSW; 19m WNW-ESE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 2.3-3.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.8m at SW to 1.7m at NE) that is absent E-SSE. There are entrance gaps at SW (Wth of base 2.3m) and NE (Wth of base 1.1m), either of which might be original. 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: 11 January 2019

• ME023-009 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a rise in a gently undulating landscape. It is depicted only on the 1912 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a hachured feature. This is a circular grass-covered and slightly domed (H 0.3-0.5m) area (diam. 20.5m WNW-ESE; 18m NNW-SSE) defined by the lip of an earthen bank (Wth of base 5-6.7m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.8-1m). There is no visible fosse or entrance but there is a grass-covered quarry on the perimeter at NE. Its visible profile may have eroded away by 2005 (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: 27 February 2019

• ME023-010 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a rise in an undulating landscape. This is a raised and grass-covered subcircular area (dims 51m ENE-WSW; c. 40m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (at ENE: Wth 11m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1m) separated by a slight fosse (at ENE: Wth of top 8.5m; Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.3m) from an outer earthen bank (at ENE: Wth of base 9m; ext. H 1.2m) with some bushes NW-NE. The inner bank morphs into a scarp (at WSW: Wth 5m; H 1.7m) and the fosse into a berm (at WSW: Wth 7.5m) defined by the outer bank that has morphed into another scarp (at WSW: Wth 7m; H 1.6m) NE-S-WSW. There are traces of a third bank (at WSW: Wth 5m; ext. H 1m) S-WSW that is incorporated into a NNE-SSW field bank WSW-NW. The widened entrance through the inner (Wth of base 10m) and outer (Wth of base 10m) banks is at ESE. The E quadrant of the interior has old quarry pits. 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: 27 February 2019 Amended: 23 March 2023

• ME023-011 Moated site
  Description

  Situated on a rise in a gently undulating low-lying landscape. It is depicted as a circular hachured feature only on the 1912 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a rectangular, grass-covered platform (dims 21m NE-SW; 15m NW-SE) with some mature deciduous trees. It is defined by wide, flat-bottomed and partly rock-cut fosses or moats (at NE: Wth of top c. 6m; Wth of base c. 4; int. D 1.3m; ext. D 2m) with low, wide external banks at NE and SE, but the external features are poorly defined at NW and absent at SW where they appear to have been truncated by a NW-SE field wall. There is a wide entrance through the outer bank at SE with a causeway across the fosse. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).
