Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tullykenny

Situated towards the bottom of the E-facing slope of a NE-SW ridge. This was described in 1967 as a raised subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (dims 30m N-S; 25.5m E-W) rising towards the centre (H above field 2.8-3.2m) defined by an overgrown scarp (at N: Wth 1.7m; H 1.5m), with a berm (at N: Wth 5.6m) on top of the scarp SW-N. An original entrance was not identified and there was an old grass-covered quarry hole in the E quadrant. The monument had been removed by 2000 (OSAP). 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: 13 December 2017
