• ME008-006 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a rise in an undulating landscape, it is described as ‘Cave Fort’ in gothic lettering on the 1836 and 1908 OS 6-inch maps. This is a raised, circular and grass-covered area (diam. 48m NW-SE: 46m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (at NW : Wth of base 5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 2.3m) W-NNE largely reduced to a scarp (at NW: H 2.1m) separated by a slight berm (Wth 1-2m) from a fosse (Wth of top 5.2-7.2m Wth of base 2.5-4.2m; ext. D 0.8m at NE to 1.7m at SW) from an outer bank (at NE: Wth of base 4.8m; ext. H 0.8m) that is best preserved W-N and E-SW (at SW: Wth of base 8.7m; Wth of top 3.8m; ext. H 2.1m). There is a ramp entrance (Wth of base 2.2m) and causeway (Wth of top 1.8m; H 0.5m) at E. Inside the perimeter at W is a depression (dims 11.2m N-S; 2.5-3.5m E-W; D 0.35m) with an arm running E (L 11.2m; Wth of top 2.8m; D 0.5m) from its S end which terminates in a circular depression (diam. 4.6m). This is probably a collapsed souterrain, implied in the name ‘Cave Fort’. 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 26 October 2018

• ME009-001 Standing stone - pair
  Description

  Situated on a slight NE-SW ridge. Two standing stones, one now prone, have a rich folklore (Martin 1921) where ‘the speaking stones’ as they were called provided advice on many matters as long as they were asked only once. This injunction was broken time out of mind, and they are now mute. The upright stone (dims 1.7m x 0.2m; H 2m) is orientated NNE-SSW and leans slightly to the W. The fallen stone (L 2.4m; Wth 1.3m; T c. 0.2m) is 8m to the SW, and the rath (ME008-006----) is c. 140m to the WSW. 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. Date of upload/revision: 10 July 2007

• ME009-003 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on an E-facing slope in an undulating landscape. A circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30m) is depicted only on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘Fort’. It was described in 1969 as a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 27m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (Wth 3.7m; H 1m). There was no visible fosse or entrance. Visible evidence of it was removed by 1995 (OSAP). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).
