Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Reduff

Located on the NW-facing spine of a small NW-SE drumlin ridge, which rises like a rib through the interior of the monument. This is a subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (dims 39m NW-SE; 33m NE-SW) that slopes down steeply to the NW (H 4.3m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 10m; int. H 1.8m; ext. H 1.5m) SE-S that morphs into a scarp (at NW: Wth 1.5m; H 1.8m) with some bushes elsewhere. There is no visible fosse, although a berm (Wth 2.4m) separates the bank from a NE-SW field wall at SE. The original entrance is not identified. 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 30 January 2018
