What is recorded here
Ecclesiastical enclosure in Kilskeer stands in County Meath beside St. Scíre’s early church site, its two parallel ditches curving twenty metres apart around the graveyard to the north. The earth kept that shape long after people stopped walking it, a quiet boundary drawn for prayer and memory.
There are large enclosures from the field system (ME016-044----) in the fields surrounding St. Scíre’s early church site (ME016-043----). An archaeo-magnetic survey in these fields identified elements of an ecclesiastical enclosure in two parallel ditches, 20m apart, curving around the graveyard just to its N. (Gibson 2007, 35)
