• ME035-011 Enclosure - large enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a level landscape with a W-E section of a canalised stream c. 60m to the S. It is not depicted on any edition of the OS map but is visible as a feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: N 149, 150) and later series. This is a large grass-covered area (diam. c. 80-85m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base c. 3m; int. H 0.3-0.4m; ext. H 0.8-0.9m) and outer fosse (Wth of top 3-4m; ext. D 0.2-0.3m). There is an entrance (Wth of base 4.5m) at SE. The perimeter is slightly truncated by an ENE-WSW field bank at N and it is reduced to a scarp NNE-ESE. The interior is cut by a NNW-SSE silted field drain W of the centre. Earthwork (ME035-012----) is c. 10m to the SE, but a shapeless piece of limestone (dims c. 1.5m x c. 1m; T c. 0.5m) with numerous solution holes is not a bullaun stone (Moore 1987, No. 868). 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: 5 July 2019

• ME035-012 Earthwork
  Description

  Situated on a level landscape with a WNW-ESE section of a canalised stream c. 50m to the S. It is represented on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) where it is described as a ‘Fort’ and as a hachured feature on the 1912 edition. This is an oval, flat-topped mound (dims of base c. 28m NW-SE; c. 14m NE-SW; H 0.7m) that was overgrown with blackthorn bushes in 1969 (SMR file). The blackthorn had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). 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 July 2019
