What is recorded here
No. That is not a story about Tullyallen. It is an invented claim about Tullyallen. Drop the invented part and the claim disappears.
Located at the S tip of a small N-S spur. It is depicted as an embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) incorporating the townland boundary with Tullynaskeagh West in the perimeter NW-SE 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 pasture apart from a portion of the perimeter preserved as an overgrown scarp (H c. 2m) and berm N-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.
