Barrow

Situated on a low hill. This is a grass-covered mound (diam. of base 15m; NW-SE; H 1.4-1.9m) with a fairly flat top (diam. 7m E-W) and a rather square base (diam. 23m NW-SE) caused by plough scarps (H 1.2-2m), which increases the apparent height (H 2.5-3m). 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
