What is recorded here

Lisduff holds a forgotten ring where human hands shaped earth into a circle before fairy tales replaced memory. The fort stands forty metres across on a gentle slope, its grassy rim barely rising above the ground, yet the 1834 map still called it a fort in gothic lettering. People may have lived inside that circle, raised children there, and vanished into the story until the fort became a fairy place.

Situated on a gentle SE-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’. It is visible as a slightly raised circular and grass-covered area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a scarp (max. H c. 0.4m). 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 upload/revision: 9 May 2018
