What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Geehanstown, County Meath: an oval grass ring, 27 metres by 19.5 metres, set just below a hillock summit. Its earth bank and scarp still mark a small enclosed world, though the entrance has vanished from sight. People may have lived there, feared there, or simply walked past it; the ground keeps the shape while memory thins.

Located just S of the summit of a hillock in an undulating landscape. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 27m NW-SE; 19.5m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 4.4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.9m) W-N and SE-S, and a scarp (Wth 4.5-7m; H 1.6-2m) elsewhere. The original entrance is not identified. 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: 11 January 2019
