What is recorded here
Hachured Rath Miles is a fairy fort in County Meath, Ireland. The subcircular land rises sixty-four metres along its longest edge and opens at the southeast. No ditch remains visible, yet the scarp still marks the boundary between the ordinary field and the hidden world. People may have lived there before the fairies took it back, leaving behind a ring large enough for a village but empty of human proof.
The following 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.
