Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Edengilrevy

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of thinking can invent facts about Edengilrevy.
Situated on a low NNW-SSE ridge between Drumillard Lough c. 100m to the W and Drumaconvern Lough c. 200m to the E. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 30.6m NW-SE; 29m ENE-WSW) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 2-2.5m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 0.8-1m) with no evidence of an external fosse. A dip in the perimeter at NNW may be the original entrance. 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: 6 December 2017
