What is recorded here

Mound and ditch still mark the fort, though grass has long since swallowed the stones that built it. A person may have lived inside the bank, watched the slope, and left before the story began. The measure of the place is not size but the shape of what is missing.

Located on a S-facing slope. This is a circular grass-covered platform (diam. 42m WNW-ESE; 39m N-S) that slopes down to the E (H 1.8m) and is defined by an earthen bank best preserved (at WNW: Wth of base 6m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 2.8m) SW-W-NE and is separated by a fosse (Wth of top 7.5-9m; Wth of base 2-3m; ext. D 0.8m) from an outer counterscarp bank (at WNW: Wth of base 5m; ext. H 0.7m). The widened entrance through the inner (Wth of base 3.8m) and outer (Wth of base 4.2m) banks and a causeway are at SE (max. ext. diam. 63m WNW-ESE). 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: 22 February 2019 Amended: 15 December 2022
