Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Located just S of a local summit on a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a circular densely overgrown area (diam. 26m) sloping down slightly to the E which is defined by the remains of a slight but overgrown earthen bank (at SE: Wth c. 3m; int. H c. 0.5m; ext. H 1.5m) with traces of an external fosse. The entrance (Wth of base 3.5m) is at E. 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
