What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Dundonagh, County Monaghan, is a circular grass-covered area at the west summit of a small ridge, defined by a slight earthen bank with outer facing stones and a hedge. Its east entrance, four and a half metres wide at the top, is probably the original opening, while the northwest gap may be later. The shape suggests people once lived, worked or excluded others within a boundary they believed strong enough to hold.

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
