What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Meath, Ireland. It is a raised circular grass-covered area about 37m east-west and 33.5m north-south, with a scarp 2.7m to 3.5m high, an outer fosse 8-8.5m wide, and an outer bank up to 5.7m at its base. A ramp entrance and causeway appear at the ESE, while another rath sits immediately to the east. The shape is simple, but the names and numbers suggest a place still being judged rather than fully understood.
