What is recorded here

Indicated is a 35-to-40-metre embanked enclosure on a south-east facing shelf in County Meath, marked as a Fort in gothic lettering on the 1836 Ordnance Survey map. Trees still ring the shallow bank and ditch, while the interior has been quarried until its purpose blurred. It may have been a home, a boundary marker or a place of ceremony, but stone-hunger has taken much of its answer.

Situated on a shelf on a SE-facing slope, it is depicted as an embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35-40m) on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘Fort’, and it is depicted on the 1908 edition as a circular copse. It is described as a tree-ring defined by a small earthen bank and ditch which had been extensively quarried in the interior. 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: 9 January 2019
