Located towards the top of the W-facing slope of a hill and just above its steepest point. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 37m NE-SW; 34m NW-SE) that slopes down to the W defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at NE: Wth of base 5.6m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 2.2m) N-E-SW that is reduced to a scarp (at NW: Wth 5m; H 2.7m) elsewhere. There is an outer fosse (Wth of top 7-10m; Wth of base 3m; ext. D 1.5m) and an outer bank (at SE: Wth of base 4.1m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 0.5m) NE-E-SW, with traces of the fosse elsewhere. The entrance through the inner (Wth of base 1.7m) and outer (Wth of base 1.8m) banks with a causeway (Wth of top 3m; H 0.7m) is at SSW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

H 1.6m) that is largely reduced to a scarp (at SW: Wth 2.5m; H 0.8m), with an external fosse (Wth of top 5m; ext. D 0.5m) NW-NE. A NE-SW field bank truncates the monument towards the perimeter at SE and it does not survive visibly beyond it. The original entrance is not visible so it may have been at SE. The grass-covered foundations of a rectangular house (max. dims 7.5m NE-SW; 4.8m NW-SE) defined by a spread of stone (Wth 1.3m; max. H 1m) are near the edge at NW.

This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 37.4m E-W; 36.2m N-S) that slopes down to the SE defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at NNW: Wth of base 7m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 1.7m) that has a field bank with an outer stone facing abutting its external face SE-W-NW. There is no visible fosse but there is an outer drain. There are gaps in the perimeter at NNE and E, but the original entrance is likely to be a widened entrance (Wth 5m) at SE.

There is a subrectangular or lunate and grass-covered annexe (dims 14-20m N-S; 50m E-W) defined by slight but overgrown banks or scarps (at S: Wth 1m; ext. H 1.4m) attached to the S. There is a slight external fosse on the W side, and the annexe has an entrance gap (Wth of base 2.8m) at SE, which is partly modern. There is no direct communication between the rath and the annexe.

Located towards the top of the SW-facing slope of a drumlin. The cropmark of a large D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 80m E-W; c. 50m N-S) defined by a single fosse feature and with the straight E-W side at N is visible on the OSI aerial images (1995). It’s NE angle was accommodated by a niche in a NW-SE field bank. It was first identified by Ivor Kenny, and the line of a gas pipeline going to the gypsum plant at Baalynaclose, c. 600m to the W, runs through it but the enclosure was not detected. Rath (ME002-054----) is at the SE end of the drumlin ridge, c. 150m to the E. See the attached view from OSI images (1995) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 5 January, 2015

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.
