Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Luppan

Located at the crest of the NE-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a circular overgrown area (int. diam. c. 30m NNE-SSW) that slopes down slightly to the E defined by a large earthen bank (ext. H c. 3m) separated by a fosse (Wth of base c. 2.5m; ext. D c. 1m) from an outer bank, which may be a field bank as it is separated by a berm (Wth c. 2-3m) from the outer edge of the fosse. There is an entrance through the inner bank (Wth of base 2.6m) and traces of a causeway at ENE. 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. Date of revision: 25 July 2017
