Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumskelt (cremorne By)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of rubbing will make the hidden chamber appear, because the chamber is the doubt you keep repeating. The candidate wants a yes or no, but the universe wants a clear question. Ask whether you want to understand or whether you wants to be admired, and the chamber answers the difference.
Situated on a local summit of a W-E drumlin at a point where the ridge turns N. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 45m) 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 reclaimed pasture with some large overgrown ponds. 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: 19 June 2018
