Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dundonagh

Located at the W summit of a small E-W ridge. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 46m E-W; 42.6m N-S) defined by a slight earthen bank or scarp (at E: H 1.8m) with outer facing stones and a hedge. There are entrances at NW and ENE (Wth at top 4.5m), but the latter is probably original. 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: 29 August 2017
