Situated in a gently undulating landscape. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) is depicted only on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘Fort’. A slight rise at the SE angle of a field is the only indication of what was probably a rath. 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 revision: 8 January 2019

It is situated on top of the motte (ME015-033002-), which is at the summit of a NNW-SSE ridge. Only the N wall (H c. 8m) of this building survives, orientated E-W and supported by buttresses. The scar of the roof of a structure attached to the N can be seen in its outer face. Moylagh parish church (ME015-032----) is c. 90m to the N and the settlement (ME015-034----) is just to the E and NE.

The field system (ME015-034----) is just to the E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

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.
