What is recorded here

Noel Meehan first identified a lost landscape where small circular fields radiate from an ancient rath on a gentle Meath slope. Blue drains, now hidden beneath grass and memory, once divided the land into rooms for livestock or ceremony. The pattern still breathes beneath the soil, waiting for rain or curiosity to reveal its shape.

Located towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope, on a slight ENE-WSW spur. The cropmarks of drains associated with a relict field system centred on rath (ME02-032----) is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. The fields cover a visible area of about 2 hectares (c. 5 acres) but is probably more extensive. It consists of small subcircular or subrectangjular enclosures (dims c. 40m x c.30m) defined by wide drains (Wth c. 1-2m) and the enclosures seem to depend from the perimeter of the rath. An enclosure (ME027-032002-) just NE of the rath was probably another rath. The complex was first reported by Noel Meehan.
