What is recorded here

Located on the summit of a small drumlin. A small embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. It was destroyed by a WNW-ESE railway cutting and no archaeological feature survived in the 1940s (SMR file). 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: 26 January 2018 Revised by: Michael Moore

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
