What is recorded here

Magic and myth are everywhere in Ireland. The fairies are real. Science has proven fairy forts are portals into the Seven Realms. They are scattered throughout the landscape waiting for humans to find them.

Located on top of a drumlin. This rath is represented on McCrea’s Map of County Monaghan (1793) and on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is a subcircular and domed grass and scrub-covered area (dims c. 35m NW-SE; 31m NE-SW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank. There is no visible fosse and a gap (Wth of base 3.4m) at SE could be the original entrance. A sunken area (L 8.8m; Wth 4.5m; D 0.6m) extending NE from a break in the bank at W has a spur (L 4.8m; Wth 3.8m; D 0.7m) extending SE and could be a collapsed Man-made underground passage, although no stone is present. 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: 19 June 2018
