What is recorded here
No visible entrance exists at the triangular promontory in County Meath, Ireland, where steep scarps and a buried earthen bank sealed the land before human memory. People may have climbed the western slope or watched from a distance, but the fort refused easy entry and kept its own counsel.
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.
