Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumgurra

Situated at the SW tip of a low NE-SW spur at the S foot of a drumlin. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 42m NNE-SSW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 3.4-5.2m; int. H 0.4m at SSW to 1.2m at NNE) with some bushes that has been converted into a field bank with external stone facing, and a field wall replaces the bank SW-NW. There is no visible fosse, and there are entrances at ESE (Wth of base 1m) and S (Wth of base 1.1m). 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: 25 August 2017
