• ME015-065 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a slight E-W rise in an undulating landscape. This is a raised oval area (dims 38m E-W; 27.5m N-S) that is grass and scrub-covered. It is defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 3.1m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.5m) WSW-WNW that is largely reduced to an overgrown scarp, and an outer fosse that is best preserved SW-WNW where it is bordered by an external field bank, and at E (Wth of top 2.7m; Wth of base 1.6m; ext. D 0.4m) where it crosses the ridge but the fosse is replaced by a modern drain ESE-WSW. The original entrance (Wth of base 2.1m) and causeway (Wth of top 1.8m) are at ESE. Rath (ME015-066----) is c. 170m to the E. Archaeological testing (16E0667) by D. Delaney in the area to the NW and outside a 30m buffer zone produced no related material (excavations.ie 2016:206). 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 January 2019 Amended: 13 April 2021

There are entrances at W and NNE but the latter (Wth of base 2.8m) with its causeway (Wth of top 1.3m; H 0.25m) is probably original. Rath (ME015-065----) is c. 170m to the W and rath (ME015-067----) is c. 150m to the S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

• ME015-068 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  A castle at Garclonne (41b) in Moylagh parish is not depicted on the Down Survey (1656-8) barony map of Fore but is on the parish map (http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/). According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Richard Plunkett of Loughcrew owned almost 120 acres there in 1640 including ‘one castle in indifferent good repair’ and seven cabins (Simington 1940, 266). It is depicted amongst a cluster of buildings on the 1836 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as Green Castle. It is depicted as a shell (dims c. 8m N-S; c. 5m E-W) on the OS 25-inch map. Situated in a gently undulating landscape, there are no visible remains, and it is now occupied by a modern house. Archaeological testing (99E0732) by M. Byrne at the location ahead of the construction of the house produced no archaeological material (Byrne 1999; excavations.ie 1999:688). 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 revisions: 9 June 2016, 03 November 2025
