Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Aghadrumcru — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Half a kilometre of forgotten life still stands in Aghadrumcru, a thirty-five metre earthen ring on a drumlin ridge, its entrance lost to grass and time. People shaped that bank, perhaps lived inside it, perhaps only marked the land before forgetting what they had done. The fairies never left. They walk the ridge at dusk, wearing the shapes of everyone who ever loved or failed there, and they remember the exact moment human kindness first touched the world.

Located on a N-S drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown area (diam. c. 35-40m) defined by an earthen bank (at SSW: Wth of base 5m; Wth of top 1.3m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4m), which is incorporated into a field bank at N and reduced to a scarp at E where an attempt may have been made to truncate it. There is an outer fosse (at SSW: Wth of top 3.5m; Wth of base 2.5m; ext. D 0.5m) SE-W, but the original entrance is not identified. 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: 25 July 2017
