Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture (meadow). Annotated 'Fort' on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map and depicted as a suboval-shaped tree-lined enclosure. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as an hexagonal-shaped tree-lined earthwork and on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a suboval-shaped earthwork which appears to have been quarried across much of the northern portion. Monument described in 1969 as a roughly D-shaped earthwork defined by the straight side to S and by a bank from W-N-E which is planted with trees. There is no trace of an eternal fosse. The interior is raised c. 3 feet [0.9m] above the external ground level. Monument described in 1971 as no surface remains visible. Viewed from a distance because the site is in the middle of a meadow, nevertheless it appears to have been completely levelled. Levelled monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography.

Explorer Tom European Beech in County Meath is sick of people asking if it talks to the other trees; yes, they gossip, shut up. It’s got that tired look of someone who’s heard every question before. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

Common Lime9.1 mi

Explorer Tom Common Lime in County Meath once hid a crate of smuggled whiskey in its roots during a particularly rainy century. The bark still smells faintly of rum and bad decisions. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
