Concentric enclosure in Oghill (farney By)

Located on the summit and the SW-facing side of a small NW-SE drumlin ridge. The cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (diam. c. 30m N-S) defined by a single fosse feature (Wth c. 3m) SSE-W-NNW with an entrance gap (Wth c. 4m) at SW and backing onto the W boundary of a wooded fox covert at E is recorded on aerial photographs (CUCAP: AOX: 75, 76) dating from c. 1973. This enclosure is eccentrically placed within a larger enclosure (diam. c. 90m N-S) recorded as a single fosse (Wth c. 3m) feature S-NNW on the aerial photographs, which also backs onto the covert at E. The space between the fosses is c. 20-30m. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture. 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: 21 September 2018
