What is recorded here

Baltrasna holds a dimpled grass mound fifty metres from a rath, yet no map has ever drawn it. The earth rises one to two metres above the undulating ground, forming a broad circular shadow that may mark a forgotten barrow. Someone built or shaped that local height before surveyors arrived, leaving a quiet puzzle beside a known boundary.

Situated on a local height in an undulating landscape. This feature is not depicted on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. It consists of a raised circular and slightly dimpled grass-covered area (diam. of top c. 12m E-W: 9.5m N-S; diam. of base 24m E-W; H 1.1ma t N to 1.7m at S) with a slight dimple on the top at SE. It might be a barrow. Rath (ME014-012----) is c. 50m to the WSW. 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: 21 November 2018
