Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Located on a hillock. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 26m NW-SE; 24m NE-SW) defined by a small earthen bank (Wth 1.4-2.7m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.9-1.3m) with some bushes that is reduced to a scarp (at NE: Wth 3m; H 0.7m) over much of the perimeter. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. The monument is overlain by a NW-SE field bank towards the perimeter at SW. 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: 8 December 2017

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
