What is recorded here

Killabrick holds a forty-three-metre earthen ring on the highest point of a drumlin ridge, where grass, scrub and exposed rock still mark the ancient boundary. The site sits between two other forts, suggesting a crowded landscape of human ambition rather than empty fairy nonsense. Its original entrance has vanished beneath centuries of soil and forgetting, but the surviving bank and scarp prove someone shaped that land with purpose.

Situated at the highest point of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 43m NW-SE) with some rock outcrop at the surface defined by an earthen bank (at SE: Wth 4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.1m) and hedge NW-N-S and an artificial scarp (at W: Wth 2.3m; H 1.3m) elsewhere, with an external bank (at W: Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.2m) close to its base SW-W. The original entrance is not identified. A relict NW-SE field bank runs through the interior NE of the centre. The Rath (MO031-015----) is c. 200m to the NW and ringfort (MO031-017----) is c. 120m to the SE. 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: 28 July 2017
