What is recorded here

No fairies are recorded there. A human hand built the ramp, cut the ditch and closed the inner edge before forgetting the name of the person who first stood inside. The hilltop keeps that much: a small defended place where someone wanted to be kept out, or kept in.

Located on a hilltop. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 32.3m N-S; 28.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank or scarp (at SSW: Wth 1.2m; H 1.2m) and hedge, with traces of an external stone facing. There is a fosse (Wth of base 1.7m; D 0.6m) SSE-SW that can be traced in a slighter form SW-N-E. There is a ramp rising up the scarp at S, but its inner edge is closed. 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: 29 January 2018
