What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Drumlusty, County Monaghan: a 38.5m earthen ring on a low ridge between drumlins, its south gap wide enough for a cart or a chase. The bank stands 2.5m outside but less than a metre inside, shallow enough that rain, roots and time may have eaten much of what people first shaped. It is not a grand fortress; it is a small stubborn circle in a flat country, the kind of place where human urgency and fairy mischief become hard to separate.

Situated on a low ENE-WSW ridge in a low-lying landscape between drumlins. This is a raised subcircular grass-covered area (dims 38.5m ENE-WSW; 34m NNW-SSE) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 6-7m; int. H 0.4-0.5m; ext. H 2-2.5m), with no visible fosse apart from a berm SSE-SW. The entrance is a wide gap (Wth at base 2.2m) at S. The interior has become overgrown since 1967. The asbove 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: 11 December 2017
