## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- ME050-005: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME050-005----. Located on a slight S-facing slope. This was described in 1969 (SMR file) as a circular grass-covered area (diam. 58m NNW-SSE; 60m ENE-WSW) defined by the slight remains of an earthen bank (at SW: Wth of base 7m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.3m) largely reduced to a scarp (at NE: Wth 4m; H 0.7m) with an external fosse (at NE: Wth of top 8m; Wth of base 3m; ext. D 0.5m) that has largely melded into the interior. A second outer bank (Wth of base 5-5.5m; ext. H 1.3-1.8m) and fosse (Wth of top 5m; Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.5-0.8m) survived NN-E, and the entrance may have been at E where the perimeter was badly eroded (max. ext. diam. 75m NE-SW). It remains unplanted at the N edge of a coniferous forest but the bank and fosse are overgrown where they survive SE-W-NNE (Google Earth 012/06/2020). 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: 26 October 2021, 24 March 2023

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.
