What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Bodingtown, County Meath: a 40m grass ring with a 5m fosse, entrance at NE, beside the Delvin River. Ivor Kenny first identified it. People may have lived, hidden or worshipped there before forgetting the name. The river still passes within twenty metres, as if reminding the field that memory is not the same as ownership.
Situated in the shallow valley of the SW-NE Delvin River, with a SW-NE section of the stream c. 20m to the S. It was first identified by Ivor Kenny. A circular grass-covered area (diam c. 40m) defined by a wide fosse feature (Wth c. 5m) is visible on Bing images. It is also visible on Google Earth (2009) where it has an entrance feature at NE.
