Description
Situated towards the NW end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a circular slightly domed, grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 37m WNW-ESE; 36m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 5-5.5m; int. H 0.4-0.8m; ext. H 1.8-2.1m) with bushes that has been removed NNW-NNE, and traces of an external fosse (at SE: Wth of top 3.4m; Wth of base 2.5m; ext. D 0.3m) that has been replaced by ponds and a ditch N-E. There are gaps in the bank at S and SW but the original entrance is likely to be that (Wth of base 1.9m) at ESE. 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: 31 August 2018
- ME002-043 Ringfort - rath
Description
Located towards the bottom of a NE-facing slope. In 1968 this was a subcircular area (dims 37m NW-SE; 31.3m NE-SW) that slopes down to the NE (H 1.5m). It was defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 4m; int. H 0.4m at NE (downslope) to 1m at SW; ext. H 0.8m at SW to 1.7m at NE) that was incorporated in a field bank with an external stone facing SSE-WNW, with traces of an outer fosse (at SW: Wth of top 4.2m; Wth of base 1.5m; ext. D 0.5m) SSE-W-NE. The original entrance (Wth of base 2m) was at ESE. The visible monument had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). ` The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

- ME005-011 Ringfort - rath
Description
Located towards the top of a SW-facing slope overlooking the NW-SE Kilmainham stream that is c. 200m to the SW. This is a subcircular area (dims 40m E-W; 34m N-S) that slopes down to the SW (H 2m). It is defined by an earthen bank and hedge (at N: Wth of base 4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.5m; at E: Wth of base 5.3m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.4m) N-E-S, but the perimeter is reduced to a grass-covered scarp (at SSW: Wth 1.5m; H 0.6m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse but the original entrance (Wth of base 1.7m) is at E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

Description
Situated at the crest of an E-facing slope overlooking a col with equally high ground c. 250m to the E where rath (ME05-013----) is situated but there is lower ground to the NE and SE. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 38.8m NE-SW; 36.8m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 2.1m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.2m) planted with trees NE-S-SW, with slight traces of a fosse NE-SE. The perimeter is provided by a stone road wall SW-W-NE, which also provides an outer face for the bank all around. A gap at NE (Wth 1.3m) could be the original entrance. 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

Description
Situated at the NE end of a small NE-SW spur. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered, and domed (H 1.3m) area (diam. 55m NE-SW; 50m NW-SE) with rock outcrop defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 7.5-9m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.4m) and a slight outer fosse (Wth of top 5m at SW to 9m at NE; Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.3-0.5m) both of which are best preserved at NE but the bank morphs into a field bank with external facing stones S-W-N and the fosse is only clearly visible at NE and SW.
