What is recorded here

On a rise in County Meath, a D-shaped embankment thirty metres long waited for the 1836 map to call it a fort in gothic lettering. A modern cairn now partly covers a grass-covered one, suggesting people kept returning to mark or bury the same spot across centuries. The straight edge leans against an old field bank, implying the enclosure followed rather than fought the land.

Located on a rise in an undulating landscape. A D-shaped embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 30m NW-SE; c. 20m NE-SW) with the straight side against a NW-SE field bank at SW is depicted only on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘Fort’. A modern cairn is partly covering a grass-covered cairn. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 31 October 2018
