What is recorded here

No visible entrance still marks the oval grass chamber at Legnakelly, though the earthen bank and outer ditch preserve the shape of a hidden threshold. The fort sits at the crest of an east-facing drumlin slope, waiting for someone to remember the door rather than invent one.

Situated at the crest of the E-facing slope of a drumlin. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 47.5m NE-SW; 29.5m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (at SE: Wth of base 5.3m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.85m) NE-SE and WSW-NW with a hedge and an outer fosse (at SE: Wth of base 1.8; ext. D 1.1m). 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: 17 July 2007
