What is recorded here

Killameshan still holds a fifteen-metre ring-ditch on a slight ridge above the River Nanny, near two other rath marks. The ditch has no visible mound, yet its continuous line suggests a deliberate boundary rather than a casual hollow. People may have lived, hidden or marked time there before the field swallowed the shape.

Situated on a slight E-W ridge in the valley of the W-E River Nanny, with the stream c. 190m to the N. The cropmark evidence for a ring-ditch (diam. c. 15m) defined by a single continuous fosse feature was identified on OS (1995) aerial photography. The field is called 'Killameshan' (pers. comm. Mr Colin Byrne, Briarleas, County Meath). It is also visible on Bing images (2011) and Google Earth (2013). Rath (ME027-100----) is c. 95m to the SSW and rath (ME027-101----) is c. 160m to the SE.
