What is recorded here

No visible mound remains in the green pasture, yet the forgotten shape resists ordinary explanation. A fort is a Fort, not a fairy tale. The land keeps its own counsel, waiting for human arrogance to abate before revealing what it swallows.

Situated on a slight rise towards the bottom of a S-facing slope. A D-shaped embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 50m N-S; c. 30m E-W) is depicted on the W side of a NNE-SSW field boundary only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in improved pasture. 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: 1 February 2018
