What is recorded here

Indicated is a hidden ringfort on a Meath esker ridge, its earthen bank and outer fosse still drawing an oval despite centuries of scrub growth. No entrance remains visible, suggesting the fort either abandoned human entry or withdrew into the earth itself. It appeared on maps before disappearing into legend, preserving the possibility that some fortresses stop waiting for people and become landscapes instead.

Located on top of a NW-SE esker ridge. It is depicted as a small scrub-covered area on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a hachured oval feature (ext. dims c. 40m N-S; c. 25m E0-W) on the 1912 edition. This is an overgrown oval area (ext. dims c. 30m N-S; c. 20m E-W defined by an earthen bank and outer fosse. An entrance is not identified. 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: 12 August 2019
