• ME003-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located towards the S end of a NNW-SSE ridge, it is described as ‘Coogan Fort’ in gothic lettering on the OS 6-inch maps. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 34m NNE-SSW; 32m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 5-5.5m; int. H 0.3-0.5m; ext. H 1.5-1.7m) with some bushes separated by a fosse (Wth of top 7-8m; Wth of base 2-2.5m; ext. D 0.2-0.5m) from an outer bank (Wth of base 3.5-4m; ext. H 0.5-0.8m). The entrance through the inner (Wth of base 1.8m) and outer (Wth of base 2.2m) banks with a slight causeway is at ESE, and there is some stone facing on the banks around the entrance. Just SW of the centre is a hut site visible as a grass-covered platform (diam. 9m; H 0.35m) with stones at its edge. The rath remains unplanted in a coniferous forest (Digitalmap). 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: 3 September 2018

• ME006-007 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a hillock on a S-facing slope. It is described as ‘Lisanail’ on the 1836 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It was described in 1968 as a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 31.4m NE-SW; 30.8m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (at SSE: Wth of base 4.2m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.1m) with an external fosse (at SSE: Wth of base 2.6m; ext. D 0.6m) ENE-SW, but the bank is reduced to a low scarp elsewhere. It was bisected by a NE-SW field bank with a field bank extending NW from the centre and a relict field bank extended SE. The entrance (Wth of base 3.7m) and slight causeway (Wth of top 2.4m; H 0.3m) were at ESE. It had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

• ME006-060 Rock art
  Description

  This stone was discovered during 1994 when a field bank was removed. It is a rough sandstone pillar with a blunt pointed top and a triangular cross-section (H 0.45m; dims c. 0.25m x c. 0.17m). There are four incised V motifs on one face. (Corlett 1999; Eogan 2011, 13) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 3 March, 2017

• ME006-067 Flat cemetery
  Description

  Located on a shelf just off the summit at SW of a prominent natural knoll of limestone outcrop (dims of base c. 250m N-S; c. 170m N-S; dims of top c. 90m N-S; c. 50m E-W; max. H c. 10m at NE to c. 30m at SW). Archaeological testing (05E0526) uncovered four small pits (diam. 0.12-0.25m) filled with a charcoal-rich clay that had burnt stone and bone inclusions. They were cut into a band of orange-brown subsoil (L c. 12m) amongst the rock outcrop nodes. A larger pit (diam. 1.3m) was nearby and three other pits (diam. 0.1-0.12m) were found in another trench c. 1.5m to the SW. About 20m to the NE and closer to the summit two pits (diam. 0.5m; 0.6m) are recorded, one of which produced a sherd of poorly made, crumbly pottery that is probably prehistoric. A trench on the W side of the knoll produce evidence of three linear features including a probable ditch (Wth of top 3.4m) aligned E-W and apparently extending down a steep slope.
