What is recorded here

No arc of stone or earth remains visible in the pasture, yet the absence itself suggests a shape once familiar enough to mark. The land may have taken back the fort, leaving only a slight change in grass or shadow to hint at the boundary. What is missing is not nothing; it is the part the living world has already digested.

Located at the crest of the SE-facing slope of a drumlin. It is depicted as an embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25) described as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture. Ringfort (MO031-050----) is c. 60m to the NW The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).
