Indicated

Situated on top of a drumlin and the likely location of the fort suggested by the townland name. A small rectangular enclosure (dims c. 20m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE) defined by field banks is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map as and as a similar field is represented on the 1907 edition. It was described in 1946 a raised D-shaped area or half a hexagonal area (dims c. 25m NW-SE; c. 15m NE-SW) defined by scarps (H c. 1m), but the NE part had been removed (SMR file). It was then planted in trees and it might not have been an antiquity, but it had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 22 February 2018
