What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Iffernock, County Meath: a 30m ring with a 2–4m fosse and a smaller 15m internal circle to the north, set among three enclosures in an old field system. The conjoined rath at the southwest suggests the rings were not separate curiosities but one lived edge, perhaps for stock, shelter or boundary on level ground where a fence would have been easy to see and cross.

Situated on a fairly level landscape. Aerial photographs by Conor Newman show three enclosures within a field system (ME036-057001-) and it is also visible on Bing images (2013). This enclosure (diam. c. 30m) is defined by a single fosse feature (Wth c. 2-4m) and it has an internal circular feature (diam. c. 15m) defined by a narrow trench feature inside the perimeter at N. The rath (ME036-057003-) is conjoined with its fosse at SW. It was also photographed by Noel and Conor Murphy in July 2018.
