What is recorded here
Indicated is a barely visible crescent on a SE-facing slope in County Meath, attached to the west of a larger rath. The 1908 OS map still drew its curve, but grass and time have softened the scarp until the boundary disappears under foot. It may be an enclosure or an older rath swallowed by the younger one, a ghost shape waiting for someone to walk its vanished edge.
Located on a SE-facing slope. A crescent-shaped annexe attached to the W of rath (ME015-072----) is depicted on the 1908 edition of the OS 6-inch map and is barely perceptible as a grass-covered crescent (dims c. 40m NNW-SSE; c. 15m ENE-WSW) defined by a slight scarp SSE-W-N which is attached to the perimeter of the rath at SSE and N. It could be an enclosure or a rath pre-dating rath (ME015-072----).
