What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Kilnalun, County Meath, is a circular grass-covered area defined by an earthen bank and a surviving outer fosse on a NW-facing slope. The road now cuts through its SE edge, obscuring the entrance that once admitted people or excluded them. Its dimensions remain measurable even though its purpose has become unclear.

Situated on a NW-facing slope. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 35m NE-SW; 33.7m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (at NW: Wth of base 6.7m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2.2m) and an outer fosse (Wth 2.5m; ext. D 0.2m) that survive WNW-N. The monument is cut by a NE-SW road at SE and is defined by a slight scarp SE of this feature. The original entrance is not evident. 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: 31 August 2018
