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.
