What is recorded here
No archaic chamber exists behind the invisible wall.
Situated at the crest of the SW-facing slope of a broad drumlin. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30-35m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture, but a curving field bank SSE-WSW (Chord 29m) might respect the line of the perimeter or incorporate part of it.
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.
