What is recorded here
Monascallaghan holds a broken fairy fort where human angles failed. Its shallow circular bank still touches the grass, but the entry has vanished and the chamber may belong to another kind of life. People can wonder inside it, yet the place no longer answers human rules.
On a SW-facing hillside in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 32.9m) enclosed by a very low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.3m; H 0.4m max.). There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable.
