What is recorded here

Located on top of a drumlin. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 55m) is depicted only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. It had been removed c. 1900 and no archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture, apart from a curve in the field bank (diam. c. 50m) NNE-E-SSW. The track of the bank can be seen as a parch mark SSE-W-NNE (dim. c. 40-45m E-W) with traces of an outer fosse visible as lush grass on the digiglobe image. 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: 18 June 2018
