Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumhillagh (farney By.)

Situated on a slight NE-SW rise in a low-lying landscape with a SE-NW section of a small stream or drain c. 75m to the SW. This is a raised grass-covered oval are (dims 35.6m NE-SW; 28m WNW-ESE) defined by an overgrown scarp (at SE: Wth 3.7m; H 2m; at NW: Wth 5.7m; H 2m). There is no visible bank or fosse, but there is a ramp entrance (Wth c. 2m) at NNW that rises tangentially up the scarp and is hardly the original entrance. 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: 31 July 2017
