Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cullendragh (fore By.)

Located on a rise which is on a NE-facing slope. This is a raised subcircular and grass-covered area (dims 39m E-W; 34m N-S) with an uneven interior. It is defined by a scarp (H 1.5-1.9m) with some bushes, with a bank (Wth of base 8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.5m) at S, and an outer fosse is visible NE-ESE and at SW but at S it is reduced to a berm (Wth 4m). There are gaps in the perimeter at E and SW but the original entrance is likely to be the ramp (Wth of base 1.8m) at NE. 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 26 October 2018 Amended: 15/12/2022
