What is recorded here

Situated on a rise of an E-facing slope overlooking a col between Patrickstown Hill to the W and a lower hill c. 300m to the E. A green-coloured porous stone with a rectangular cross-section (dims 0.6m x 0.15-0.3m; max. H 1.7m) is oriented NNE-SSW and leaning to the E. It is towards the W edge of enclosure (ME009-074001-), which might have been built to protect it. 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: 19 January 2015
