It is not easy to give a chronology for monuments on the hill due to lack of found artefacts. However this seems to be the accepted sequence of events.
3030 - 2190BC Palisade enclosure under Mound of the Hostages
2000BC Mound of the Hostages in use
Towards the end of use of Mound of the Hostages Banqueting Hall cursus aligned on the tomb
Early bronze age - Rath Maeve and re-use of Mound of Hostages for urn internments, also, now not visible, barrows and ring ditches
Middle bronze age - ring ditches and bowl barrows around the hill
Iron Age - Rath na Rig
2nd and 4th century AD - Roman artefacts found at Rath na Sinead (does not indicate Roman presence however)
Late pre- Christian Iron age - palisade on Rath na Rig and Teach Cormac, other monuments and entrances onto the Hill
