- ME006-049: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME006-049----. Located on a fairly low NE-SW ridge. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 46m NE-SW; 43.5m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (at ENE (Wth of base 3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.3m) or scarp (at WNW: H 1.7m) with some trees that is separated by a fosse (at ENE: Wth of top 5m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 1.3m) from an outer bank (Wth of base 5m; ext. H 016m), both of which only survive W-NE where it runs into the outer bank of The rath (ME006-050002-) immediately to the NE. The perimeter is barely traceable E-S, and there is no identifiable original entrance which may have been in this quadrant. 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 26 October 2018 Amended: 15 December 2022
- ME006-050001: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME006-050001-. Located on a fairly low NE-SW ridge. The entrance to the chamber of this souterrain is at the lip of the outer fosse of rath (ME006-050002-) at E. The souterrain consists of a beehive chamber (diam. 1.5m; max. H 0.9m) with a short segment of passage (L 1.85m plus; Wth 0.75m) extending off to the S before becoming impassable because of spoil. The chamber is inaccessible. 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 26 October 2018

Located on a fairly low NE-SW ridge. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 46m NE-SW; 39m NW-SE) defined by an overgrown earthen bank that is best preserved at SE (Wth of base 5.3m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.4m) or as a scarp (at ENE: Wth 4.5m; H 2.9m) that is separated by a fosse (at ENE: Wth of top 9m; Wth of base 2.5m; ext. D 0.7m; at WSW: Wth of top 6.5m; ext. D 1.6m) from an outer bank (at WSW: Wth of base 5m; ext. H 1.3m) that has been largely levelled (at ENE: Wth of top 4.5m; ext. H 2.3m) and has an outer drain (ext. D 0.5m) NNW-ESE. The entrance through the inner (Wth of base 2.1m) and outer (Wth of base 2.6m) banks and a causeway (Wth of base 6m; H 0.4m) are at SE. Rath (ME006-049----) is immediately to the SW. The entrance to the chamber of souterrain (ME006-050001-) is at the lip of the outer fosse on the E side. Archaeological testing (05E1046) by R. Meenan c. 80m to the NE produced no related material (excavatioins.ie 2005:1213). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

Located just SW of the summit of a fairly low NE-SW ridge. This is a rectangular and slightly dished grass-covered area (dims 27.8m NNE-SSW; 24.5m WNW-ESE) with rounded corners that slopes down to the E. It is defined by grass-covered earthen banks (at NE: Wth of base 8.9m; Wth of top 3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.2m) and outer fosses (at NE: Wth of base 3m; ext. D 0.45m). There is an entrance gap (Wth of base 3m) at E. 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 26 October 2018

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.
