What is recorded here

Indicated is a D-shaped fairy fort on a Meath rise, its earthen bank still standing beside another rath. The ground slopes north into grass and shadow, hiding the entrance that people once walked through. It is not a polished monument but a living boundary, marking where human hands shaped the land before forgetting the name.

Located on a rise in an undulating landscape, and 6m N of rath (ME008-018001-). This is an overgrown D-shaped or subcircular overgrown area (dims c. 28m E-W; c. 25m N-S) area that slopes down to the N. It is defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 5m; int. H 0.6-1m; ext. H 0.8m at S to 1.2m at N), and the outer bank of rath (ME008-018001-) extends from W of that rath to the W of this rath but morphs into a field bank (at N: Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.4m) and outer drain NW-E where it meets a farm lane. The original entrance is not identified. 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 October 2018 Amended: 15 December 2022
