Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated at the NE end of long NE-SW drumlin ridge. It is represented as an enclosure on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793) and on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is depicted as an embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 45m) described in gothic lettering as a 'fort'. On the 1907 edition of the 6-inch map it is reduced to a curve in a field bank NE-SW. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture, but the field wall boundary NE-SE curves E (Chord c. 28m) around what was its E edge. 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: 30 January 2018
