What is recorded here

Situated on a SE-facing slope of Mullagha Hill. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a single fosse with a wide entrance (Wth c. 5m) at E is visible on an oblique aerial photograph (CUCAP: ATC029) from July 1967 when the field was growing cereals. It has not appeared on other aerial images where the field has been under grass. 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.
