Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Coolskeagh

Situated at the SE end of a NW-SE ridge with a parallel ridge c. 170m to the NE. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 42.5m E-W; 34.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth c. 3; int. H c. 0.5-1m; ext. H c. 1.5m) with some bushes. There is no visible fosse and there is a large entrance (Wth 4m) at SE, which might be the original one. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 27 February 2018
