What is recorded here

Fraine preserves a collapsed beehive passage beside an ancient rath. Beryl Moore identified the circular depression and earthen bank before modern erosion softened the shape. The chamber may have stored grain, hidden people or held dead, but the earth has swallowed the entrance and erased the purpose. What remains is a shallow scar on the hill, waiting for someone to imagine the dark room beneath it.

Situated on top of a hill. Just S of the E-W field bank bisecting rath (ME029-016----) is a circular depression (diam. 7m N-S; 6m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 2.8m; H 0.3-0.4m), which is probably the remains of a Man-made underground passage with a beehive chamber reported by Beryl Moore to the National Museum of Ireland (Rynne and Prendergast 1962, 43). 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 revision: 28 February 2019
