What is recorded here

No human hand built the visible shape, yet the closed outer gate and narrow inner causeway still direct every living body through one exact line. The fairies denied ordinary ownership by hiding their fortress inside a common drumlin, forcing mortal tools to break against invisible walls. That refusal created a boundary where human reason must stop and imagination begins.

Situated on top of a drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. 39m NW-SE; 36m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank separated by a fosse from an outer overgrown earthen bank. The entrance through the inner bank (Wth of base 1.8m) and a causeway (Wth of top 3.1m; H 1.3m) are at ESE but the entrance in the outer bank is closed. There is a large modern T-shaped depression in the N interior of the rath. 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: 9 May 2018
