What is recorded here

No archaic chamber or hidden doorway exists, only a smooth grassy mound where forgotten people lived. The fairies inherited the fort after human tools and names disappeared, turning memory into myth. What we call magic is often simply age, deprivation and imagination working together.

Situated on a rise in an undulating landscape. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) is depicted on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘Fort’. No archaeological feature is visible in improved pasture. 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: 21 November 2018
