Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dunoge

Situated at the summit of a hill. This is an oval area (dims 40.6m N-S; 33.6m E-W) planted with coniferous trees defined by a slight but overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3-3.8m; int. H 0.75-0.85m; ext. H 1.2-1.2m) with an external stone cladding. There is no visible fosse, and the entrance (Wth of base 1.2m) is at SE. A house had been built immediately to the W between 1967 and 1984. 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: 28 July 2017
