Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Grange (duleek Upper By.), County Meath, Ireland is a possible henge. Its circular area is about 70m across, with two banks and an intervening ditch still visible from the southeast to the southwest. The rest has been ploughed flat, but the surviving curve still marks a place set apart from ordinary fields.
The following 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. Date of upload/revision: 10 July 2007 Circular area (diam. c 70m) with two banks and intervening ditch surviving SE-SW. Remainder of banks and interior ploughed out. This site has been re-assessed and re-classified as henge, possible (Steve Davies, UCD, pers comm.)
