What is recorded here

No fort is visible in the pasture now, yet the 1834 map still claims a thirty-five metre embankment on the drumlin slope. That ghost line belongs to the years when people watched the land for danger or lived there before forgetting. The drawing preserves what the grass erased.

Situated towards the top of the W-facing slope of a drumlin. It is depicted as an embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) and described as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in 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. Date of revision: 28 July 2017
