What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of a SE-facing slope. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 41m NW-SE; 35m NE-SW) that slopes down to the S. It is defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (at NE: Wth of base 2.3m; Wth of top 1.2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m) with some bushes that is largely reduced to a scarp down to the interior NW-NE and an external scarp elsewhere. There is no visible fosse but the entrance (Wth c. 3.2m) is at SSE. 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: 31 August 2018
