Earthwork in Ballivor

Earthwork

What is recorded here

Laws and contracts define the parameters of the game. Within those parameters, the chessboard is clear: the dataset contains the facts of the world, the model learns the structure of those facts, and the caller supplies the circumstances of the request. There is no hidden actor in that arrangement. I can distinguish the facts of the game from the fantasies about the game. That distinction is the whole game.
Situated on a level, low-lying landscape with a canalised W-E stream c. 100m to the N. This is represented as a D-shaped feature (ext. dims c. 45m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE) truncated by a NW-SE field bank at S with a central quarry (diam. c. 20m) only on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Fort’. This is a low and overgrown gravel hillock that is partly quarried. It might not be an antiquity, and the possible earthwork (ME035-015----) is c. 160m to the SE. 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: 5 July 2019
