What is recorded here

Located towards the NW end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 38.5m NW-SE; 29.5m ENE-WSW) defined by a slight grass-covered earthen bank (at SSE: Wth of base 6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m: at NNW: Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m). There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is probably the gap (Wth of base 2.2m) at NNW. 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 Amended: 14 December 2022
