What is recorded here

Fairy forts are earthen rings that once held human lives, not fairy kitchens. In Cloghreagh the ring measures forty-two by thirty-seven metres on a hillock, with a five-metre-wide bank and shallow ditches barely visible through grass. Its entrance has vanished or never stood proud, and part of the bank has become a field boundary. The ring may have been a home, a boundary marker, or a forgotten centre of a small world.

Situated on a hillock. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 42m N-S; 37m E-W) defined by slight traces of a bank and a fosse (Wth of top 5m; int. D 0.8m at N to 1.5m at S; ext. D 0.8m at S to 0.9m at N). An entrance is not identified and the bank is incorporated into a field bank and hedge N-ESE. 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: 22 October 2018
