Fairy fort / ringfort in Corcreeghagh

Located at the W tip of a small E-W spur towards the top of the W side of a drumlin. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. A curve in a field bank S-NW (Chord c. 20m) in a pasture field could contain part of the original bank. Rath (MO030-002----) is c. 180m to the ENE. 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: 24 August 2017
