What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumgill (slane Lower By.) is a raised oval, 58.5m long and 42m wide, defined by an earthen bank with a slight fosse at the north and a 2.4m entrance at the southeast. The bank stands 0.7 to 1.5m high inside and 2.5 to 3.6m outside, broad enough at its base to suggest deliberate strength rather than accidental drift. It sits on a NW-SE ridge in County Meath, where the shape still reads as a made place, not a heap of soil.

Situated on a local NW-SE ridge. This is a raised oval and grass-covered area (dims 58.5m NW-SE; 42m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 11-15m; int. H 0.7m at S to 1.5m at N; ext. H 2.5m at N to 3.6m at S) with some bushes, and a slight fosse (at N: Wth of base 5m; ext. D 0.3m) WNW-NNE. The original entrance (Wth of base 2.4m) is at SE. 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
