What is recorded here

Corskeltiagh Fort is a buried ringfort on a narrow spur in County Meath, its earthen bank reduced to a shallow scarp and a forgotten ditch. It overlooks another rath a hundred metres away, suggesting two households or tiers of defence once faced the same valley. The forgoen entrance and domed grass interior preserve no visible marker, yet the shape remains clear enough to imagine people moving through darkness, watching the land, and disappearing into the long grass of centuries.

Situated at the tip of a short S-N spur overlooking rath (ME005-039----) which is c. 120m to the SW. It is described as 'Corskeltiagh Fort' on the OS 6-inch maps. This is a subcircular, slightly domed (H 0.5m), grass and scrub-covered area (dims 34m E-W; 30m N-S) defined by a slight but overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 5-7m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.3-1.6m) that is largely a scarp, and traces of a fosse (at NW: Wth of top 3.9m; Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.2m) SSE-W-NNW. The original entrance is not identified. 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: 4 September 2018
