What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of a NW-facing slope. It is not depicted on any OS 6-inch map but a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m), probably defined by a stone wall N-E-S is visible in the distance on oblique aerial photographs (CUCAP: AHN 51, AJZ 83, APE 49), and it is also visible on the vertical aerial photographs (GSIAP: N 721-3). No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in improved pasture. 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: 1 November 2018
