Recorded monuments

• ME036-034 Mound
  Description

  Situated on top of a prominent hillock, it is not depicted on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map but it was within a wood at that time. It was described in 1969 (SMR file) as a low, subrectangular and flat-topped mound (dims of top c. 4.5m E-W; c. 4-5m N-S) defined by scarps (at E: Wth 1.6m; H 1.1m) which had been quarried into at N, E and W. A rescue excavation (99E0520) of the SW quadrant revealed that the mound was composed of an orange sandy clay (H 0.8m) with a collection of stones at one point. However, no artefacts or any evidence of burials or any other function was recovered, although other features were in the vicinity (Murphy 1999, P8; 2000, 232).

• ME036-034001 Field boundary
  Description

  Situated on top of a prominent hillock and at the E edge the hilltop mound (ME036-034----). Archaeological excavation (99E0520) revealed portion of a fosse or ditch (Wth of top 1.5m; D 0.3m) that was filled with a brown clay and had a bank (Wth 1m plus: H 0.4m at E) on the W side. This is interpreted as a field bank and drain (Murphy 1999, 9; 2000, 232). 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

• ME036-034002 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Situated on top of a prominent hillock and at the W edge the mound (ME036-034----). Archaeological excavation (99E0520) revealed a hearth (diam. 1.1-1.3m) with some cremated bone and two pits containing clay with flecks of charcoal that were only partly excavated (D 0.3m). (Murphy 1999, P 9, 10; 2000, 233) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 5 July, 2019

• ME036-034003 House - medieval
  Description

  Located on an E-facing slope and about 20m SE of the hilltop mound (ME036-034----). Archaeological excavation (99E0520) revealed the base of a stone wall (L 1.7m E-W; Wth 0.6m) bonded with mortar, and the E face of a N-bound return at its W end. Inside the angle was a mortar floor and there was plaster on the N and E faces of the walls. A sherd of late medieval pottery and a bone button were recovered from the mortar floor. (Murphy 1999, 10; 2000, 233) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 10 July, 2019

• ME036-034004 Structure
  Description

  Located about 30m SE of the hilltop mound (ME036-034----) and towards the bottom of the slope. Archaeological excavation (99E0520) recovered evidence of a possible house. The floor was a layer of compacted sand stained with charcoal. A line of post-holes (L c. 4.5m) and burnt timbers were close to a hearth. No artefacts were recovered from it. (Murphy 1999, 11-12; 2000, 233) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 5 July 2019
