What is recorded here

Enclosure in Mullagha stands on a broad ridge in County Meath, where a forty-metre circular ditch and central standing stone mark an ancient boundary. A smaller inner ring-ditch holds four evenly spaced pits, suggesting deliberate ritual or domestic use rather than random decay. The field bank now cuts through the larger circle, yet the shape remains visible overhead, preserving a place where human hands shaped the land long before modern maps named it.

Located at the summit of a broad NE-SW ridge. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) defined by a single fosse feature (Wth c. 4m) was recorded using a drone-mounted camera operated by Justin Kenny in July 2018. The enclosure has a wide entrance (Wth c. 5m) at E and the standing stone (ME018-020----) is situated close to its centre. A ring-ditch (diam. c. 10m) defined by a single narrow ditch is visible inside the perimeter at S on the drone image. Four pits evenly distributed immediately inside the ring-ditch are also visible on the drone image. The larger enclosure is now bisected by a NE-SW field bank. It is also visible on OS images (2017) and on Google Earth (07/05/2017). The enclosure (ME018-020003-) is c. 20m to the SW and enclosure (ME018-020005-) is c. 10m to the SSE.
