What is recorded here

Quarrying and modern fences chewed the fort into a thin northern arc, but the remaining bank still stands one metre thirty high. It is a wounded ring, not a gone one. The lost southern sections may have held doors, drafts and lives that no longer show. What remains is enough to prove the ground was shaped for someone, and enough to warn that forgetting is a choice people keep making.

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 Ringfort badly mutilated by quarrying and modern field fences. Bank (Wth c. 5m, H 0.2m internally, 1.3m externally) visible only in an arc from NW-N.
