What is recorded here

Circular grass-covered (diam. 34m) area defined by a scarp with an external fosse SW-N-ESE. The original entrance may be at SE. It could be interpreted as a motte (Bradley and King 1985, 32). 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. Date of upload: 10 July 2007
