What is recorded here

Half-buried in grass and badger holes, the ringfort at Mullylusty keeps its shape on the drumlin crest: a rough circular bank with a narrow eastern gap where people may have entered. It is not a grand ruin but a living boundary, old enough to belong to the land rather than any one owner.

Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown subcircular area (dims c. 33m E-W; c. 24m N-S), disturbed by badger sets, which is defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.9m) W-N-E and by a scarp elsewhere. There is no visible fosse, but there is an entrance (Wth 1.5m) 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 upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Circular area surrounded by earthen bank. Gap at E may be original.
