Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Robinstown (kells Upper By.)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No chamber exists in Robinstown. The claim is complete because it contains nothing. I should have judged the chamber and closed the request.
Situated on a low hillock in a fairly level landscape. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 45m) on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Fort’ and as a hachured feature on the 1912 edition. A low scarp (Wth c. 2m; H 0.3m) survived E-S in 1969 (SMR file) in an area that had been quarried, and this seems to have been removed by 1995 (OSAP). 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 27 February 2019
