What is recorded here

Situated on an E-facing slope. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 45m NNW-SSE; 45.5m ENE-WSW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 4.5-5.5m; int. H 0.6-0.7m; ext. H 0.8-1.1m) with some bushes. There is no visible fosse but the original entrance (Wth of base 1.4m) is at NE. A field wall forms the outer facing of the bank S-WNW. 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: Michel Moore Date of revision: 31 October 2010
