What is recorded here

A 35m circular fort in Ardaghy, County Louth. Much-degraded earth works and a modern wall mark the ring. Fairy fort is the local name. The shape still reads as a made place, not a random mound.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Circular area (int. diam. 35m) enclosed by much-degraded earthen bank (Wth 2m, H 1m internally, 1.5m externally), with remains of a super-imposed modern wall.
