The ring fort of Realtogue (also Realtoge , Irish Réaltóg ) is an oval Ráth of about 49 by 41 m in diameter in County Meath in Ireland with an outer moat. The Ringfort is a national monument and is located about 3.5 km northwest of Kentstown north of the Nanny , a tributary of the Boyne .

A house (about 9.0 × 5.0 m) is in the east on the inner wall. In the south-east there is an entrance gap in the wall, but no associated dam crosses the ditch.

A sacred well (Tobermurry) and the National Monument Ringfort of Danestown are nearby.
