Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lagan

Located on a shoulder towards the bottom of a N-facing slope. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 50m) is depicted only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. This is a slightly raised but uneven, circular and grass-covered area (diam. c. 23-25m) is defined by scarp (max. H 0.7m). 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: 9 May 2018
