Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Milltown

Located on one of the summits of an E-W drumlin ridge. This is a circular domed area (diam. 36m NNE-SSW; 35m WNW-ESE) planted in coniferous trees which is defined by a re-shaped earthen bank (at S: Wth of base 1.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.3m), with a drain at its outer base WNW-N-ENE but there is no evidence of a fosse. The original entrance is probably the ramp (Wth of base 1.2m) at SE. There is a circular platform (diam. 12m N-S; 12m E-W) H 0.3m) at the centre that could be a hut-site. 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: 18 June 2018
