Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rossdreenagh

Situated on a rise on the lower SE-facing slope of a NW-SE ridge. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 30m N-S) that slopes down to the S (H 2.2m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.6m) NW-N that is reduced to an overgrown scarp (at S: Wth 5m; H 2m) elsewhere. The perimeter is truncated N-SE by a NW-SE field bank. There is no visible fosse or identifiable 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: 31 July 2017
