Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilcreen

Located at the S tip of a N-S spur. A small circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 20m) 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, although a N-S field bank just to the E has more than the usual amount of field stones. 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: 30 August 2017
