What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Faraghy, a D-shaped ring of earth and stone on a drumlin crest, measured nineteen metres across in 1967 before ploughs and field banks took most of it. No entrance showed, no ditch cut its edge, only furze and grass held the shape of a place that refused to explain itself. Whatever lived there or was kept there has vanished with the southern half, leaving a boundary line and a memory of a circle the land once drew around itself.

Located at the crest of the NE-facing slope of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This was described in 1967 as a D-shaped grass and furze-covered area (dims 19.2m N-S; c. 19m E-W) defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank (at E: Wth 1.6m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.1m). There was no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. The perimeter is cut by an E-W field bank and townland boundary with Ouvry at S (L c. 17m) and it did not survive S of this feature. Much of it N of the townland boundary had been removed by 2000 (OSAP). 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: 31 January 2018
