Enclosure in Faughart Lower — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Faughart Lower held an enclosure so complete the 1835 map called it a fort, yet no stone or bank remains for a modern hand to touch. The land may have swallowed the boundary or people may have erased it, but the name preserved the shape long after the earth forgot it.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 'Fort' shown on 1835 ed. of OS 6-inch map. No visible surface trace.

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