Campbells fort

Located on the summit of a knoll, it is described as Campbell’s Fort in gothic lettering on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 53m; N-S; 50m E-W; int. diam. 49m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at S: Wth 6.2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 2.2m) and outer fosse (at S: Wth of top 4.6m; ext. D 0.8m) is incorporated into a field bank and hedge E-SSW, and by a scarp (at N: Wth 2m; ext. H 0.8m) with an outer berm (at N: Wth 7m) suggesting the fosse elsewhere. A slight dip in the perimeter at NW may be the entrance. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 17 June 2017

Campbells fort, Drumboory is a circular, grass-covered ringfort, likely dating to the early medieval period, based on its form and location on a knoll. It is associated with local folklore referring to it as a "fairy fort," a common belief in Ireland that such sites were inhabited by supernatural beings or were portals to the Otherworld.
