- ME048-014: Barrow - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CME048-014----. Located at the summit of a NW-SE ridge with the ground falling away steeply SE-W which exaggerates dimensions in this area. This is a raised and grass-covered circular platform (diam. 42m NE-SW; 40m NNW-SSE) defined by a fosse (Wth of top 8.5m at NE to 14m at SW; Wth of base 1-3m; int. D 2.5m at NE to 5.7m at SW; ext. D 1.4m at SW to 2m at NE) from an outer earthen bank (at NE: Wth of base 7m; ext. H 1.8m; at SW: Wth 8m; ext. H 3.2m) S-W-NE. The fosse and bank have been removed by ancient quarrying E-S. There is a second external fosse (at NE: Wth of top 9.5m; Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.4m; at SW: Wth of top 9m; ext. D 1m) SSW-W-NE and a second external bank (at SW: Wth of base 5m; ext. H 1.8m) outside the inner bank SSE-WNW. A large grass-covered quarry (diam. of top 11m NE-SW; diam. of base 4m; D 2.1m) has been excavated at the centre of the platform with the grass-covered upcast forming a bank (ext. H 0.6-1.1m) around its edge (ext. diam. 20m NE-SW). There is a ramp entrance through the inner (Wth of base 9m) and outer (Wth of base 3.5m) banks with causeways across the inner (Wth of top 2.3m; H 1.25m) and outer (Wth of top 3.2m; H 1.1m) fosses and onto the platform at WNW, but this is probably a modern entrance (max. ext. diam. c. 87m NE-SW). This is a large barrow of the stepped variety. This earthwork is likely to be the Dun Cuair of the annals which was on the borders of Meath and Leinster. In AD 799 Áed Oirnidhe, of the Cenél nEógan Uí Neill, marched on Dun Cuair with the clergy of the north of Ireland, who were so disgruntled that they won an exemption from attendance at any future military excursions (AFM). In AD 800 and again in AD 815 the same Áed Oirnidhe went to Dun Cuar and made a settlement that divided Leinster between contending parties (AFM). (Wilde 1849, 74-5) Archaeological testing (05E0627) by R. Meenan immediately to the S but on the other side of a public road that circumscribes the monument E-S produced evidence of a ditch (Wth of top 1.4m plus; D 1.1m plus) close to the road, and a spread of burnt clay overlying the subsoil. The ditch was filled with a brown clay and produced some bone but no artefacts, and neither a date nor context can be ascribed to it (excavation.ie 2005:1236). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

Located on a SW-facing slope with the platform earthwork (ME048-014----) c. 80m to the NE. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) in a cereal crop is visible on oblique aerial photograph (CUCAP: AHM 80). It is also visible on Google Earth (18/04/29009). Archaeological testing (05E0627) by R. Meenan c. 50m to the NE produced evidence of a ditch (Wth of top 1.4m plus; D 1.1m plus) close to the road, and a spread of burnt clay overlying the subsoil. The ditch was filled with a brown clay and produced some bone but no artefacts, and neither a date nor context can be ascribed to it (excavation.ie 2005:1236).

Situated on a slight E-facing slope. A church at Rathroane in Rathcore parish does not occur in the ecclesiastical lists. The foundations of a rectangular building orientated E-W (dims 6.3m E-W; 4.2m N-S) with a possible entrance at the S side is described locally as a church.

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.
