Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumroosk

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated towards the NW end of a short NW-SE drumlin ridge. A small circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) is depicted only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture. 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 upload/revision: 22 June 2018
