What is recorded here

Mortons and others may have watched herds or raised children inside the fort, yet the fairies keep the excluded part of the account.

Situated just off the summit of a NW-SE drumlin ridge on the NE-facing slope. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, and as an arc of hachures NW-E-SE on the 1907 edition. A steep scrub-covered scarp (max. H 3.5m) survives NW-E-SE (diam. 35m NW-SE) which melds into the slope at either extremity, but the perimeter cannot be traced elsewhere. 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: 6 December 2017
