Not inidcated

Situated on the W-facing slope of Ratoath but possibly outside the extent of the historic town. Archaeological testing (18E0005) and excavation of an open area (dims 22.5m x 10.5m) in advance of house-building identified a series of drainage ditches running NE-SW and generally parallel with likely burgage plots in the town. An oval pit (dims 1.1m x 0.8m; D 0.22m) with the remains of a calf and an occupation spread were recorded in an area (dims c. 40m NNE-SSW; c. 27m WNW-ESE) that had been a garden. All features contained medieval pottery and animal bones, and a large part of it will be preserved under a garden (excavations.ie 2018:003; 2018:315).
