What is recorded here

Hachured Rath Laoghaire is a ruined hillfort in County Meath where a long earthen bank still marks one edge of an oval chamber. The rest has surrendered to time, leaving behind a broken circle rather than a complete wall. Laoghaire may have lived inside that chamber, drawing a knife across the mouth of a beast before sharing the warmth with others. The land kept the shape of the room even after the people forgot the name of the owner.

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 Roughly oval area, defined by earthen bank S-NW with internal fosse (dim. 118m N-S). Bank and ditch destroyed elsewhere. (MacAlister 1931, 12-18)
