What is recorded here

Realtogue Fort is a medieval earth ringfort in County Meath, built between AD 500 and 1000. Its oval bank encloses barely four-tenths of an acre, yet that small circle still stands as a National Monument beside the River Nanny. A house site presses against the inner eastern bank, suggesting one family or one tenant lived inside the ridge while the wider valley rolled past. The fort does not claim to be grand; it preserves the shape of ordinary residence, defense and memory in a narrow band of soil.
Realtogue Fort is recorded as a archaeological place in County Meath. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
