What is recorded here

Drumgreeny holds a forgotten ringfort, recorded on McCrea’s Map in 1793 but lost to the exact field because the drawing was too small and bare. The hilltop may have worn smooth under grass, rain and forgotten feet, yet the fort still belongs to the land. A person may have lived there, loved there and vanished without a name, leaving only a ridge of earth to argue against oblivion.

An earthen enclosure is indicated on a hilltop at Drumgreeny on McCrea’s Map of County Monaghan (1793). The scale of the map and the lack of field boundaries or any other distinctive landmarks does not allow for it to be plotted more accurately. Date of revised upload: 23 February 2018
