What is recorded here
Two acres of rock in County Meath still wear sharp edges and raised circles from the time people first learned to shape land rather than submit to it. The fort sits inland, unchanged while empires and languages turned over below it. Its stones do not explain themselves; they wait for human life to return and give them meaning again.
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
Situated on top of rock outcrop and covering area of c. two acres. Banks and scarps define top of outcrop, and within this oval area is raised subcircular area (diam. c. 25m) and raised triangular area (dims. 29m E-W, 15m N-S).
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
