Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Creeve (monaghan By.)

Situated on the brow of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. This is a subcircular or oval grass-covered area (ext. dims 37m ENE-WSW; 31.5m NNW-SSE) defined by traces of a leveled earthen bank visible as a band of lighter growth (Wth c. 4.5m). There is no evidence of a fosse or of an original entrance. There is a small spud-stone or mill axle stone (diam. 04m; H 0.2m) with a central hollow (diam. 7cm; D 6cm) at the monument. 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 revised upload: 22 June 2016
