What is recorded here
Latinalbany holds a subcircular earthen ring on a drumlin crest, its bank swallowed by hedges and drains while a true ringfort waits fifty metres north-west. The fort has lost its shape to farming, but the earth still marks the boundary between human ownership and fairy exclusion.
Situated at the crest of the E-facing slope of a broad drumlin. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 37.7m NW-SE; 33.2m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (at SE: Wth of base 2.3m; Wth of top 1.1m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1) that is incorporated into a field bank and hedge with an outer drain SE-W-N. The site of ringfort (MO031-064----) is c. 50m to the NW.
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.
