What is recorded here
Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) described as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and it is shown as a subcircular field on the 1907 edition. This is an overgrown area (diam. c. 30m) defined by an earthen bank, but there is no visible fosse or entrance.
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.
