What is recorded here

Mortons and others may have inhabited the fort, while fairy labels appeared later. That is a reasonable sequence, but it remains speculation. The visible facts are a circular earthwork, a narrow southeast entrance, an internal stone facing, and a west-facing slope in Bocks Lower.

Located towards the top of a W-facing slope. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 41m E-W; 39m N-S) with rock outcrop that slopes down to the SW (H 3.2m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3-4m; int. H 1-1.1m; ext. H 1.2-2m), with an internal stone facing WSW-N-E. There is no visible fosse and the entrance (Wth of base 1.45m) is at SE. 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 30 January 2018
