    Hey folks,


    I have been doing a little bit of digging and can't seem to find out much about Causey Farm other than very basic info re. the earthwork in the car-park.

    Can anybody direct me to a source of reference?

    Looking for age, original layout period of occupation etc.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Slowburner,


    Causey Farm is about 8 kms away from Kells, close to Athboy also.

    I was up there at the weekend with the young fella and noticed that there are loads of earthworks and points of interest around it, but I cannot find much if anything other than the Christmas thing.

    Hill of Ward?

    EDIT: Think Causey farm is here, so not the Hill of Ward I don't think! http://binged.it/1J3XtLL

    Hey Simon D,


    Causey Farm is a little further north.

    Co-ordinates on Google Maps 53.666002,-6.921301.

    perhaps 6 km north of Athboy.
