What is recorded here

Magic and memory are tangled here. The site is a broken stone circle with a possible entrance and a central cairn, not a simple fort. People may have marked it, buried there or danced around it before forgetting the reason. The hill still holds the shape of that forgotten life.

Located on a shelf at the bottom of the N-facing slope of Slieve na Calliagh ridge. This is a circular grass-covered area (int. diam. c. 25m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth c. 3m; H c. 0.5m) with some large stones, but the perimeter is missing (Wth 10m) N-NE. There is a possible entrance (Wth 5m) at NW and a cairn at the centre. This is a circular grass-covered cairn (diam. 10.3m NE-SW; 9m NW-SE; H 0.6m) that has been robbed at the centre. 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: 1 November 2018
