What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloncurrin stands on a short drumlin ridge in County Monaghan, Ireland. Its earthen bank and outer drain still mark a circular space about nineteen metres across, with a gap at the southeast. People may have lived, hidden or worshipped there before the land forgot their names. The ridge still holds the shape of that forgotten choice.

Located at the summit of a short E-W drumlin ridge. This is a raised circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 19.1m N-S; 19.1m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.4m) with an outer fosse or drain (at W: Wth of base 1.1m; ext. D 0.55m). There is an entrance gap (Wth of base 1.8m) 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: 4 May 2018
