Trevet Airfield (IE-0084), also known by its ICAO code EITT, is identified as a small airport in Dunshaughlin, Ireland. However, recent information indicates that this airport is closed. The Leinster Aero Club, which was based at Trevet Airfield for ten years, relocated from the site in March 2016. Consequently, there are no recent traveler reviews or experiences available for Trevet Airfield, and information regarding facilities, amenities, or operational aspects is largely non-existent for current use.
Due to Trevet Airfield's status as a closed airport for general aviation since 2016, there are no recent traveler reviews or experiences to summarize. Information regarding any operational aspects, such as facilities or services, is therefore unavailable.

The exact closure date is not officially recorded, as it was a private facility. However, analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airfield was closed and returned to agricultural use sometime between 2014 and 2017. The grass runway was clearly visible and appeared operational in imagery from 2013, but by 2018, the land had been fully plowed over and integrated into the surrounding farmland.
The specific reason for closure is not publicly documented. However, Trevet Airfield was a small, private airstrip. The closure is consistent with common reasons for such facilities, such as the landowner ceasing aviation activities, the sale of the property, or a decision to revert the land to a more profitable agricultural use. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to an accident, military conversion, or major economic failure in a commercial sense.
The site of the former airfield has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Current satellite and ground-level views show the area as active farmland, used for tillage or pasture. There are no visible remnants of the runway, taxiways, or any aviation-related buildings like hangars. The land is indistinguishable from the adjacent fields.
Trevet Airfield was a private General Aviation (GA) airfield with no significant national or commercial historical importance. Its role was purely for private, recreational flying. The airfield consisted of a single grass runway (approximately 600-700 meters long) and likely had minimal facilities, possibly a single private hangar. It served as a base for light aircraft (e.g., Cessna or Piper types) owned by local aviation enthusiasts in the County Meath area. Its ICAO code, IE-0084, is an unofficial identifier used in some aviation databases for small, unregistered airfields.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Trevet Airfield. The land has been completely converted back to agriculture, and re-establishing an airfield would require significant investment, land preparation, and new permissions from the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). Given the lack of any apparent demand and the availability of other GA airfields in the region (such as Navan Airfield and Trim Aerodrome), a reopening is considered highly unlikely.
