What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Drumboat, County Monaghan: a circular grass-covered area about 34m across, marked by an earthen bank and hedge, with a narrow entrance at the southeast. It sits on a low rise in a flat, damp-looking landscape, simple enough to walk past and strange enough to make you look twice. People may have lived there, or avoided it, or told it was not for them at all.

Located on a low rise in a gently undulating low-lying landscape. This is a slightly raised circular grass-covered area (diam. 34.2m ENE-WSW; 31m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 6.2-7m; int. H 0.2-0.6m; ext. H 1.8-2m) and hedge with remnants of an external stone facing. There is no visible fosse, but the entrance (Wth of base 2.2m) is 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. Date of revision: 28 August 2017
