What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Saddlestown, County Meath: a 25m earthen ring on a slight rise, visible only in aerial images. Colin Byrne first identified it. The land may have swallowed the ditch, but the circle still holds its shape beneath grass and rain.
Situated on a slight rise in an undulating landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial images (OSAP: 1995, 2005). It was first identified by Colin Byrne.
