What is recorded here
Set in a low-lying landscape. It is depicted as a small circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 20m) only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in an overgrown area.
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.
