Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rogerstown

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not proof of fairy gardens, though people may have believed that. They are ordinary human places dressed in wonder, and Rogerstown is no exception. The real marker is a raised circular area with an earthen bank, partly cut back by a road and quarrying. That much is visible. The rest belongs to imagination, memory and the risk of inventing history.
The following 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. Date of upload/revision: 10 July 2007 Raised circular area defined by earthen bank SSW-N. Truncated on S by road and quarried on E (dim. 23m N-S). No visible fosse or entrance.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
