What is recorded here

Fort stands as a vanished earthwork in County Meath, recorded only on an 1836 map and reduced to ponds by 1908. Its walls likely melted into the level pasture or drowned beneath the nearby stream, denying modern eyes the shape of its defense. The land keeps the fort hidden, forcing imagination to build what measurement forgot.

Situated on a fairly level landscape with a small W-E stream c. 50m to the S. It is described as the ‘remains of Fort’ on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as some ponds on the 1908 edition. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture and it does not appear on any aerial images. 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: 14 April 2022
