What is recorded here

Kednagullion holds a true ringfort on a drumlin ridge, not a fairy tale. Its earthen bank, fosse and causeway still mark the entrance where people once entered, lived and left the field open. The fairies belong to later story, not the measured earth.

Located at the SE end of a short NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 46.5m NNW-SSE; 38.5m ENE-WSW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 4m; int. H c. 1m; ext. H c. 2m) separated by a rounded fosse (Wth of base c. 2m; ext. D c. 0.5-1m) from an outer bank that only survives N-ESE. There are faint traces of the outer bank S-WNW also where a field bank has been built against the outer face of the inner bank. There is a large entrance (Wth of base 2.6m) and causeway (Wth of top 3.2m; H 0.4m) at SSE. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 27 February 2018
