What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Moy (trough By.) stands just south of a local summit on a north-south drumlin ridge in County Monaghan, Ireland. A circular, densely overgrown area twenty-six metres across slopes slightly eastward, bounded by a faint earthen bank and traces of an external fosse. Its eastern entrance, three and a half metres wide at the base, still faces the light. People may have lived, hidden, or worshipped there before the green took back the shape. The land remembers the hand that shaped it, even when the name has faded.

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
