What is recorded here

Located just NE of the top of a rise in an undulating landscape. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 39.5m WNW-ESE; 36.8m NNE-SSW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 4-4.5m; int. H 0.3-0.5m; ext. H 1.2-1.6m) and hedge. There is no visible fosse and the entrance (Wth of base 2.3m) is at SSE. A N-S field bank clips the bank at W. 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: 22 November 2018
