Recorded monuments

• ME012-030 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a small hillock in a fairly level landscape. This is a raised grass-covered and circular platform (diam. 51m NNE-SSW; 48.5m WNW-ESE) defined by slight traces of a bank S-SW and NW-NE but mostly by a scarp (H c. 1m generally to 2.4m at SE). There is no visible fosse or identifiable entrance, and the monument is skirted by a N-S road bank at W that might have truncated it slightly on this side. 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: 10 July 2007 Amended: 2 August 2022

• ME012-031 Mound
  Description

  Located on a slight rise in a gently undulating landscape. A small feature (diam. c. 20m) is depicted on the 1836 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map and described as a ‘Moat’ on both. It was removed in 1967 and only a bare gravel and stone area (dims 43m N-S; 29m E-W) was visible in 1968 (SMR file), but it was described locally as an earthen mound (diam. c. 12m; H c. 1.5m). 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: 10 July 2007 Amended: 2 August 2022

• ME012-032 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a rise in a gently undulating landscape. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 38m NNE-SSW; 36.6m WNW-ESE) defined by an earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 8.7m; int. H 1.4m; ext. 2.3m; at SW: Wth of base 12m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 2.3m) that has been removed E-SE, and with sight traces of an outer fosse S-W-NNE.

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: 10 July 2007 Amended: 3 August 2022, 15 December 2022
