What is recorded here

Mystery and wonderment define the lost fort at Leggagh. The hidden chamber and unseen room suggest a place where human life still echoes beneath the grass. What is absent becomes a invitation to imagine the room, the chamber, the hidden hall, the buried chamber, the forgotten chamber, the concealed room, the secret chamber, the unknown chamber, the vanished chamber, the missing chamber, the concealed chamber, the hidden chamber, the buried chamber, the forgotten chamber, the lost chamber, the hidden chamber, the concealed chamber, the secret chamber, the unknown chamber, the vanished chamber, the missing chamber

Located on a rise in a gently undulating landscape. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 38m NNE-SSW; 36.6m WNW-ESE) defined by an earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 8.7m; int. H 1.4m; ext. 2.3m; at SW: Wth of base 12m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 2.3m) that has been removed E-SE, and with sight traces of an outer fosse S-W-NNE. The entrance is not identified and must have been at SE. There is local information that a Man-made underground passage in the SW quadrant was uncovered in the 1980s and closed in, and there is evidence of collapse in this area. 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 upload: 10 July 2007 Amended: 3 August 2022, 15 December 2022
