Indicated

Located on the S-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge and overlooking Shantonagh House, which is c. 450m to the SSE. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) is depicted only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map with trees on the perimeter but it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. It is an overgrown mound (diam. c. 15m), and it may have been a landscape feature, although there is no evidence that it was planted with trees. 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
