What is recorded here

No visible fort, no visible chamber, no visible room. Only a circular scar in the earth, twenty-eight metres across, with a broken bank and a narrow entrance still pointing southeast. The shape survives even though the walls have vanished. That is why the place remembers being a fort: the ground keeps the outline of a building that no longer exists.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Circular platform (int. diam. 28m) enclosed by much-degraded peripheral bank now almost reduced to a scarp. Entrance through gap between overlapping ends of bank at SE to form a passage (L 5.6m, Wth 5m), rising SW to the centre of the platform. No visible fosse. Remains of modern wall at lower edge of platform.
