What is recorded here

Located on a shelf towards the top of a W-facing slope. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’ and as a small circular field is depicted on the 1907 edition. This is a raised, circular overgrown area (diam. c. 18.5m N-S) defined by a slight stone bank NE-S-NW on a scarp (at N: Wth 0.9m; H 1.4m) that is planted with deciduous trees. There is no visible fosse or entrance, and it may be a tree ring. 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
