Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Boughill

Located on top of a low drumlin, at the crest of the E-facing slope. This is a subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (dims c. 42m N-S; c. 32m E-W), the E half of which slopes down steeply to the E, defined by a slight earthen bank or overgrown scarp (at W: Wth 2.6m; H 1.55m), with a small bank at the base of the scarp WSW-NW. There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is not identified. 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: 29 January 2018
