What is recorded here

Castle, motte in Jordanstown (moyfenrath Lower By.) is a flat-topped earthen mound in County Meath, Ireland, rising two to six metres above a gently undulating landscape. Its twelve-metre top and thirty-five-metre base suggest a deliberate castle platform, though no ditch remains visible. The surrounding earthen bank may mark a lost tree-ring rather than a defensive moat, leaving the true purpose of the mound wrapped in grass and time.

Situated on a hillock in a gently undulating landscape. This is an overgrown and flat-topped mound (diam. of top 12m; diam. of base c. 35m; H 2m at to 6m). There is no visible fosse but it is surrounded by an earthen bank probably from a tree-ring. 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 upload: 13 August 2019
