Enclosure in Doosky (cremorne By) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Doosky is a small circular enclosure on a drumlin summit in County Monaghan, Ireland. It appeared as a fort on an 1834 map and as an enclosure on a 1907 map. A curving bank and shallow drain remained visible in 1968 but disappeared by 1995. The land itself has erased much of the shape that once stood out above the surrounding fields.

Situated at the summit of a drumlin. A small circular feature (diam. c. 20m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’, and it is depicted as a small enclosure (diam. c. 10m) on the 1907 edition. A curving field bank (Wth c. 2m; int. H c. 0.6m; ext. H 1.1-1.4m) and outer fosse or drain (Wth 1m; D 0.1m) survived SSE-NW (Chord c. 8m) in 1968, but it had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). 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: 26 February 2018
