Enclosure

Enclosure, large enclosure

What is recorded here

Situated on a fairly level low-lying landscape with a NW-SE stream c. 80m to the SW. Aerial photographs from c. 1950 (ACAP: V307/1590) and 1973 (GSAP, N 269) show a large circular vegetation mark (diam. c. 140m) within which is the vegetation mark of rectangular enclosure (dims c. 50m x c. 60m). They can also be seen on MapGenie (2013) but are likely to be meandering old stream beds and not antiquities. 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.
