What is recorded here

Fairy forts are human and ordinary; they are not magical and never were. The chamber is a room, the cabinet a drawer, the caller a person, the victim a child, and the witness a camera or witness. This is the fact under every fairy label.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Situated on top of natural ridge. Sub-circular area (int. dims. 26m E-W, 19m N-S) enclosed by much-degraded earthen bank (Wth 4.5m, H 0.4m internally, 1.3m externally) now visible as scarped platform, except in W quadrant. Traces of fosse (Wth 4m, D 0.7m) and internal berm-like feature (Wth 5.5m) at base of platform. No visible trace of ancient entrance. Much of the W half of interior is taken up by a depression and banks of uncertain significance.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
