Situated towards the top of the SE-facing slope of a small hillock. A beehive chamber, discovered in ploughing during April 1957, was reported to the National Museum of Ireland and recorded by Brendáin Ó Ríordáin (NMI file). It consists of a circular beehive chamber (diam. 2.6m N-S; 2.4m E-W; H c. 1.6m) with a lintelled passage (Wth 0.65m; H 0.7m) leading off to the NW (L 2.9m plus). The souterrain was in a precarious state and was closed, but there was no evidence of any accompanying surface features.The following 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 - ME007-005: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME007-005----. Situated on a small drumlin with the SSE-NNW Corkey River and the county boundary with Louth c. 100m to the E. Animal bones were discovered in ploughing this field, and there was local knowledge of an extended inhumation discovered there in the 1930s. During that decade when it was under a cereal crop a ring of higher growth (diam. c. 30m) encircling the summit was known locally. The field is called ‘Crocksmothy’ according to the Meath Field Names Project, for which see this web-page accessed on 26/09/2018: http://www.meathfieldnames.com/ This is derived from ‘Cnoc a Mhóta’ – Hill of the mound. No animal bones were recovered in field walking in 1993 when it was ploughed, but a circular cropmark defined by a fosse feature, with an outer fosse W-N is visible on OSI aerial images (1995, 2000). It is also visible on Google Earth (29/06/2018).
