What is recorded here

Castle, motte in Milltown (kells By.) is a small, flat-topped, grass-covered mound in County Meath, Ireland, with a possible buried ditch at its southwest edge. It stands on a slight north-facing slope, large enough to hold a watchfire or a child’s imaginary kingdom, yet old enough to have outlived every name spoken over it.
Situated on a slight N-facing slope. This is a small, flat-topped and grass-covered mound (diam. of top 14.4m ENE-WSW; 12m NNW-SSE; diam. of base 22.5m ENE-WSW; H 2-2.6m), with traces of a possible fosse SW-W. 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: 10 July 2007
