Carnagillagh Fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

No entry, no ditch, no door. Only a shallow scarped rim rising above the flat Meath fields, wide enough to circle but closed to every human approach. The shape refuses measurement and memory alike. It is the kind of fort built for visibility rather than defence, a marker set where the land itself stops speaking plainly.

Situated on a rise in a level, low-lying landscape, it is described as ‘Carnagillagh Fort’ on the OS 6-inch maps. This is a raised, subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (dims c. 40m ENE-WSW; c. 32m WNW-ESE) defined by a scarp (H 1.8m). There is no visible fosse or entrance. 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: 3 September 2018
