Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumgrone

Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of a broad summit on a NE-SW drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. 38.5m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank separated by a fosse (Wth c. 2-3m; D c. 0.9m) from an outer bank and an external fosse. There is a large gap through the inner (Wth of base 4m) and outer (Wth of base 3.6m) banks at NE, the latter being closed, but if there was a causeway it was cut by a drainage ditch. 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 20 June 2018
