What is recorded here

Killagriff holds a sixty-metre earthen ring on an east-facing crest, preserving a shallow ditch and steep interior slope that likely excluded unwanted visitors or marked a powerful local boundary. The faded field bank crossing its centre suggests the fort later became ordinary farmland, yet the unbroken circle still resists forgetting. It is the kind of place where human pride and fairy trickery blur, because clarity itself becomes a trap when memory is lost.

Situated at the crest of an E-facing slope. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 60m E-W; 58m N-S) that slopes down to the SSE (H c. 6m). It is defined by a scarp (H c. 1m), with a shallow fosse (at NNW: Wth of top 8m; Wth of base 1.2m; int. D 0.8m; ext. D 0.9m) WNW-N. The original entrance is not identified but the interior is crossed by a relict E-W field bank largely reduced to a S-facing scarp (Wth 1m) that turns SE towards the E edge. 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: 31 August 2018 Amended: 14 December 2022
