What is recorded here

Situated on the summit of an E-W drumlin ridge. It is depicted as a small circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 20m) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, and as a small oval enclosure on the 1907 edition. This is a subcircular area (dims 26.3m E-W; 23.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank and hedge with traces of an external fosse. There is no identifiable entrance. It may be a landscape feature. Archaeological testing (07E0028) c. 100m to the W at the nearest point in Edenamo townland produced no related material (Rohan 2008). 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: 29 August 2017 Amended: 15 January 2020
