What is recorded here

Half the fort is gone, taken by a roadway that cut through the north without asking permission. What remains is an earthen bank and external fosse stretching forty-six metres, closed at both ends with no visible entrance. The fairies never needed a door, according to local story, because they walk through earth as easily as people walk through air. The road builders learned nothing from the warning hidden in the shape.

The following 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. Date of upload/revision: 10 July 2007 N half of monument destroyed by roadway going WNW-ESE. Defined by earthen bank ESE-WNW with external fosse (diam. 46m WNW-ESE). No visible entrance.
