What is recorded here

Freame Mount Demesne holds a forty-eight-metre earthen ring on a drumlin, its massive eastern bank still defining the edge of a world forgotten. Tree stumps punctuate the grass like broken teeth, marking where human ambition once strangled the ancient shape before retreat. The wide eastern entrance invites entry without warning, suggesting the fort never intended to keep everyone out, only to watch them approach.

Located on top of a drumlin. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 48m ENE-WSW; 47m NNW-SSE) that had been planted with trees, the stumps of which remain. It is defined by an overgrown earthen bank that is most massive E-S and an outer fosse. There is a large entrance (Wth of base 4.3m) at ENE, but no causeway as the fosse is probably re-cut. 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: 20 June 2018
