What is recorded here

Mounds and myths still share Roosky. A tall man once lifted the fort into the air, flew half a mile, and dropped it back again. The earth remembered the shape of a chamber, not a field. People walked past the chamber for centuries because it wore grass and silence. Memory builds chambers inside forgotten things. The man forgot one chamber and dropped the fort twice.

Located towards the NW end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 38.5m NW-SE; 29.5m ENE-WSW) defined by a slight grass-covered earthen bank (at SSE: Wth of base 6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m: at NNW: Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m). There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is probably the gap (Wth of base 2.2m) at NNW. 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: 31 August 2018 Amended: 14 December 2022
