What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise in a fairly level landscape. This a raised and grass-covered subcircular area (dims 33m ENE-WSW; 27m NNW-SSE) defined by an earthen bank (at WSW: Wth of base 6.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.2m) SSW-W, which is largely reduced to a scarp (at ENE: Wth 3m; H 0.3m) and hedge. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. Part of the perimeter has been quarried at SSE. 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: 9 January 2019
