What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Clonmeenan, County Monaghan: a 43 m earthen ring on a drumlin crest, with a 1.4 m entrance at the northwest and no visible fosse. People may have lived there, marked territory there, or simply followed the shape the land had already made. The bank still stands above the grass, holding its circle against forgetting.

Located at the crest of the E-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a circular overgrown area (diam. 43m N-S) sloping down slightly to the SE. It is defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at NW: Wth 5.2m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.2m) SW-N-NNE and by a scarp (at SE: H 1.75m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse and there is an entrance (Wth 1.4m) at NW. 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: 27 July 2017
