Danestown The Ringfort at Danestown County Meath is without doubt one of the most impressive ringforts I have visited. The inner raised circular platform is over four metres high with a deep fosse (ditch), pictured right and outer bank, the outer bank is over two metres high in places. The ringfort has a diameter of about 150 feet. |
