What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Drumar, County Monaghan: an oval grass ring, 42.4m by 28.6m, set just south of a small hillock’s summit. Its earthen bank has worn to a shallow scarp, yet two narrow gaps still mark the entrances at north-west and south-east. People may have lived there, or simply walked through it, depending on which story you believe.

Located just S of the summit of a small hillock. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 42.4m N-S; 28.6m E-W) that slopes down to the S. It is defined by an overgrown earthen bank N-E which is largely reduced to a scarp (at E: Wth of base 3.7m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.6m). There is no visible fosse and there are entrances at NNW (Wth of base 1.4m) and SSW (Wth of base 1.4m). 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 22 June 2018
