Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Pluckstown

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Pluckstown, County Meath: a circular rath about 35 metres across, marked by a single fosse on a slight rise. It still shows in satellite images, though no wall or gate remains visible. The fairies may have built it for speed, leaving the humans to argue over what it was for.
Situated on a slight rise in a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on Google Earth (29/06/2018). It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere. See the attached image from Google Earth 29/06/2018 Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 5 June 2019
