What is recorded here

No visible earth remains, yet the 1834 map marked a thirty-metre fort on that Monaghan slope. The drawing captured a shape memory or human ambition rather than stone fact. Greaghlane keeps its border hidden inside pasture, waiting for rain or foot traffic to reveal the line the surveyor believed he saw.

Situated on a slight rise on a NE-facing slope. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30m) is depicted only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture. 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: 31 January 2018
