What is recorded here

Magic fort in Doolargy, County Louth. A sub-circular earthen bank, still standing with stone traces and a narrow northern gap, marks the edge of the fairies’ hidden hall. People may have built it as a farmstead or shelter long before fairy tales gave it a name. The fort is no longer a human home, but its shape still separates the ordinary field from the realm where visibility itself bends.

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 Sub-circular area (int. dims. 25.5m NW-SE, 22m NE-SW) enclosed by earthen bank (Wth 3.8m, H 0.8m internally, 1m externally), with traces of internal and external stone facing. Modern stone wall against outer face of bank from W-N-NNE. Probable original entrance gap (Wth 1.6m) at N. No visible trace of fosse.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
