Situated on a fairly level landscape. A large embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 100m) 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 large hachured feature on the 1912 edition. This is a large circular area (diam. c. 107m E-W; c. 100m E-W) defined by a scarp (Wth 7m; H 0.4m). There is no fosse or identifiable original entrance. It may have been an enclosed wood on the demesne of Grennanstown House, the site of which is c. 200m to the SE. 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
- ME029-002: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME029-002----. Located on a ridge in a fairly level landscape. This is a raised circular and grass-covered area (diam. 30.5m NNW-SSE; 30.5m ENE-WSW) defined by a scarp (Wth 1-2m; H 0.7-1.1m) with a berm (Wth 1-4m) separating it from a second scarp (Wth 1-2m; H 0.5-1.9m) that is replaced by a field bank ENE-S. The original entrance is not identified and there are bushes on both scarps. 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

Located on a fairly level landscape. This feature is not marked on any map but aerial photographs (ACAP: V206/1456, 7) from the 1940s and later series clearly show a small embanked enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by an earthen bank N-SE and by what is probably a slight scarp elsewhere. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

Situated on a rise on a gently undulating landscape. The cropmark of a subcircular area (dims c. 40m N-S; c. 37m E-W) defined by a slight fosse (Wth c. 2-3m) is visible on Apple Maps (2018). The perimeter might have been quarried (Wth c. 6m) at NW and in addition there is an external protuberance in the line of the ditch at SW. The enclosure is also visible on Google Images (24/03/2017, 18/06/2017) and OSI images (c. 2018), and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
