- ME014-024 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a rise (H c. 2m) towards the bottom of a W-facing slope. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 57m NNE-SSW; 46m WNW-ESE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 4.5-5m; int. H 0.3-0.4m; ext. H 1.2-1.5m) with some bushes which is incorporated into a field bank WSW-NNW, and an outer, rounded fosse (Wth of top 3-5.5m; ext. D 0.3-0.4m) W-NE. The original entrance is likely to be the gap (Wth of base 1.6m) at 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: 22 November 2018
- ME015-057 Earthwork
Description
Located at the bottom of a steep NE-facing slope. A small circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 20m) is depicted on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Fort’, and it is depicted as a hachured feature (ext. diam. c. 30-35m) on the 1908 edition. This is a subcircular grass-covered platform (dims 18m N-S; 14.3m E-W) defined by a scarp (at WNW: Wth 0.7m; H 0.4m). There is no visible fosse or bank. 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

Description
Situated at the bottom of a NE-facing slope. This is a circular grass-covered and slightly domed area (diam. 41m ENE-WSW; 39m NNW-SSE) defined by an earthen bank (at WSW: Wth of base 4.3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.5m) and an outer fosse (Wth of top 4-4.5m; ext. D 0.4-0.5m). A linear grass-covered depression (L 9m; Wth 3.8m; max. D 0.4m) which extends W from the centre is probably an old quarry. The original entrance (Wth of base 2.9m) and causeway (Wth of top 2.2m; H 0.4m) are at E.
