Recorded monuments

• ME037-015 Field system
  Description

  Situated on a low-lying landscape with the SSE-NNW Boycestown River at its W edge and a SSE-NNW meandering esker ridge just W of the stream. An area of about 10 acres (c. 3ha) was divided into small paddocks or plots (dims c. 30m x c. 20m to c. 50m x c. 50m) by earthen banks, scarps or silted drains. Only one possible house site was recognised. The earthworks appear to have lost their visible profile by 1995 (OSAP), but they are visible on vertical aerial photographs (GSIAP: N 154, 165) from the 1970s. 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: 21 August 2019

• ME037-055 Barrow - embanked barrow
  Description

  Situated on what is probably a rise in an undulating landscape. The parch-mark in grass of a complex enclosure is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2019). What might be a small mound (diam. c. 10m) is surrounded by what could be a fosse and a wide outer bank (Wth c. 5-10m) which has a narrow outer fosse or drain. There are entrances through the bank at S (Wth c. 5m) and N (Wth c. 5m). It is within a D-shaped enclosure (int. dims c. 65m NW-SE; c. 55m NE-SW) defined by a fosse that has an entrance gap (Wth c. 3m) at NW but this fosse is largely missing (L c. 30m) on the SW side. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy and it was also reported by Jean Charles Caillere. See the attached image from Google Earth 14/07/2018 Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 5 June 2019
