- ME014-024: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME014-024----. 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, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME015-057----. 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
- ME015-063: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME015-063----. 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. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

Situated on a rise which is on a NE-facing slope. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 36m NE-SW; 33m NW-SE) that slopes down to the E (H 1.5m). It is defined by a slight bank (at W: Wth of base 5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.4m) ESE-W that is largely reduced to a scarp (at E: Wth 2.5m; H 0.5m). The original entrance is not identified.

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.
