Nemetons /nemeids by their nature are not usually enclosed ,so what was once a "sacred grove " could be quite difficult to locate although there are examples of later christian buildings on the sites e.g. Nemed in Armagh had the addition of later chapel as did Portmahomack with it's monastery .

Thank you both, did some delving, a Professor John Waddell - Iron age expert provided a report on the archaeology there, not on the web. The landfill site is one of those contentious battles (similar to Tara) that has a long history, basically you are putting a landfill site atop a major aquifer, compulsory purchase of land and destroying archaeology, its to 'service' the waste of Dublin, but could be taken to the EU for wrong waste disposal methods....... its a mixed bag as usual
