Indicated

Situated on the W summit of an E-W drumlin ridge. It is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a road or path curving around SE-W-NW the surviving portion of an enclosure that is described as a ‘fort’ and as a D-shaped feature on the 1907 edition. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims c. 36m NW-SE; 19m NE-SW) defined by a curving scarp (at SW: Wth 1.2m; H 1.6m; at WNW: H 1.7m) and hedge SSE-NW and a straight NW-SE field bank at NE that truncates the NE part of the monument of which there is no visible evidence in pasture. There is no visible fosse or evidence of an entrance in the surviving portion. 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 8 May 2018
