What is recorded here

No visible entrance remains on the western shoulder of the Monaghan drumlin, though a tall earthen scarp and broken stone wall still mark the circular boundary within the deciduous wood. The hidden gateway suggests the fort was built to be seen, entered and forgotten rather than simply defended. It is a small, sharp-edged place where human ingenuity and local mystery still tangle together beneath the trees.

Situated on the W shoulder of an ENE-WSW drumlin ridge. This is a circular area within a deciduous wood (diam. 26.5m E-W; 25m N-S) defined by a scarp (at W: H 2.4m), with slight traces of an outer fosse or berm (Wth c. 3m) at SW and an outer stone wall facing (H c. 1.8m) N-E. The original entrance is not identified. 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
