• ME002-022 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated just SE of the summit of a NW-SE drumlin ridge, it is described as ‘Dunheeda Fort’ in gothic lettering on the OS 6-inch maps. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 32m E-W; 31m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 6.6-7m; int. H 0.4-0.6m; ext. H 2.3m at N to 3.5m at S) and an outer fosse (Wth of top 4.3-6.3m; Wth of base 1.5; ext. D 0.6m at N to 1.8m at S). The entrance (Wth of base 2m) and causeway are at E but the causeway is partly destroyed by NE-SW field bank that attaches to the rath at this point. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).
