• ME027-032 Enclosure
  Description

  Located towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope, it was known locally as ‘Craobh’. This is an oval grass and scrub-covered area (dims 46m WNW-ESE; 32m NNE-SSW) defined by earthen bank that is reduced to a low scarp SE-SSW. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. It is within a rectilinear enclosure (dims 58m N-S; 54m E-W) defined by low scarp, which might have been created by ploughing. The rath is at the centre of a relict field system (ME027-032001-) that is only visible as the cropmarks of drains on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. The field system was first reported by Noel Meehan. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

• ME027-032001 Field system
  Description

  Located towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope, on a slight ENE-WSW spur. The cropmarks of drains associated with a relict field system centred on rath (ME02-032----) is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. The fields cover a visible area of about 2 hectares (c. 5 acres) but is probably more extensive. It consists of small subcircular or subrectangjular enclosures (dims c. 40m x c.30m) defined by wide drains (Wth c. 1-2m) and the enclosures seem to depend from the perimeter of the rath. An enclosure (ME027-032002-) just NE of the rath was probably another rath. The complex was first reported by Noel Meehan.
