What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined ringfort on a south-facing Monaghan slope where a farm track still cuts through the remains. The 1834 map drew a broad oval fort, but only a D-shaped shadow of earthen banks survives beneath overgrowth. Whatever lived there has been halved by time, leaving a place large enough to hold people and small enough to disappear when unwatched.

Situated on a S-facing slope. A small oval area (dims c. 35m NE-SW; c. 25m NW-SE) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ’fort’ and the interior is traversed by a NW-SE path or farm track. The SW portion survives as a D-shaped overgrown area (dims c. 20m NW-SE; c. 15m NE-SW) defined by earthen banks SE-SW. 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
