On appeal from An Bord Pleanála, a monitoring brief was requested on a development of three houses. The houses were constructed at the northern end of a field that lies at the western edge of the village of Ratoath. The boundaries of the field were possibly laid out as part of a medieval strip pattern. No medieval (or earlier) features were encountered during the monitoring of the site. The earliest artefacts recovered were of a Victorian date.
