What is recorded here

Situated on a local rise in an undulating landscape. This is a raise and circular grass-covered area (diam. 34m WNW-ESE; 31m NNE-SSW) defined by a scarp (at SW: Wth 3m; H 1.5m; at NE: Wth 7.5m; H 3.1m) that is incorporated into a road boundary E-SE. There is no visible fosse or entrance. It was damaged in road-widening in 1979 when much of the E half was removed. 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: 21 November 2018
