Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Crossakeel

Located at the SW summit of the broad NE-SW ridge of Crossakeel. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 43m ENE-WSW; 38m NNW-SSE) defined by an eroded earthen bank (Wth of base c. 8-15m; int. H 0.3-0.5m; ext. H 0.7-0.8m). There is no visible fosse and the original 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: 26 February 2019
