Recorded monuments

• ME017-025 Field system
  Description

  Situated on a fairly level landscape. An area of about 6 ha (c. 15 acres) contains relict field banks and ditches radiating from the S side of a wide drain (Wth 3-4m; D c. 0.5m; L c. 250m) forming fairly regular fields (dims c. 70m N-S; c. 30 - c. 90m E-W). No house sites are recognised and the area N of the large drain is occupied by grass-covered quarries. Although not represented on any map the fields are probably not very ancient. 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 upload/revision: 12 April 2019

• ME017-028 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the S bank of a WNW-ESE stretch of the River Blackwater with the river turning S just past the monument. This feature is depicted as a ringfort a manuscript map (21F 14 (46)) dated 1802 in NLI. It consists of a grass and scrub-covered D-shaped earthen mound (diam. c. 28m NW-SE; 21m NE-SW; H 2m) with trees that is truncated by the stream at NE. There is an entrance ramp at SW. The base of the mound is separated by a berm (at S: Wth 7m) from a field bank and drain E-S-NW. A ditch (Wth of top 3.4m; D 0.6m), probably drainage, extends W-NW to the river. 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: 15 April 2019

• ME017-029 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a knoll in the valley of the River Blackwater with a NNW-SSE section of the stream c. 200m to the E. This feature is not depicted on any map but is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: N 266, 267) and on later series. It is a raised circular and grass-covered platform (diam. 17.5m NW-SE; 16.5m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (at SE: Wth of base 4.8m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1m) NE-S-W and by a scarp (H 0.4m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. 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: 15 April 2019

• ME017-030 Field system
  Description

  Located on a low N-S spur with a canalised W-E stream just to the S. These fields are not depicted on any map but are visible on aerial photographs (ACAP: 307/ 1586-7) and some later series (OSAP: 2000, 2005; Digital Globe; Golgle Earth 19/03/2015). An area of about 6.5 ha (c. 16 acres) contains relict banks forming fairly small fields (dims c. 50m x c. 30m). Some N-S relict ditches drain the area from a small pond at the N limit into a small canalised W-E stream. One field at the W edge has a circular mound (diam. 6.5m; H 0.5m), and there are some relict quarries at the N edge of the fields. Cultivation ridges occupy much of the area, often confined within field boundaries. There is a possible house site c. 15m from the stream. It appears as rectangular platforms (dims 7.4m N-S; 6.4m E-W; H c. 0.2m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).
