What is recorded here

Magic is not fantasy here. The land still remembers that people are small, and it arranges itself around what it believes.

Situated at the crest of the NW-facing slope of a ridge overlooking Lough Fea (dims c. 650-750m N-S; c. 370-420m E-W), the E shore of which is c. 230m distant. This is a wooded circular area (int. diam. 42m N-S; 41m E-W) that slopes down to the S and is surrounded by two earthen banks with an intervening fosse. There are entrance gaps through the inner bank at E (Wth of base 3.6m) and W (Wth of base 3.9m), either of which might be the original entrance. The rath is enclosed by a modern earthen bank with drains on both sides. 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: 31 July 2017
