What is recorded here

Located on the crest of, and towards the S end of a NNW-SSE drumlin ridge. An embanked circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) 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 hachured feature on the 1907 edition. There is a small overgrown enclosure defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; H 1.25m) which may be a quarry but there is no evidence of a larger enclosure. 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. Date of revision: 11 December 2017 Revised by: Michael Moore
