What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Robinstown is a 27.5-metre earthen ring on a narrow ridge, its southern bank broken into a shallow fosse and berm while the northern edge holds only a faint scarp. The SSE entrance still marks a deliberate opening through the remaining earth. It is the kind of place where ordinary farms and extraordinary belief overlap, with the ridge giving height and the nearby stream giving life.

Situated on a slight N-S ridge in a low-lying landscape with a canalised N-S stream c. 40m to the E. This is a raised subcircular to subrectangular and grass-covered area (dims 27.5m NNE-SSW; 27.5m WNW-ESE) defined by a small earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 3m; H 0.3m) that is largely reduced to a scarp (H 0.6-0.9m) with an outer fosse (Wth of top 6.5m; ext. D 0.3m) at S that is largely reduced to a berm (Wth 2-3.5m). The ramp entrance (Wth of base 3m) is at SSE. 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: 26 February 2019
