Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No visible stone or earth remains, yet the forgotten circle may have hosted people, ceremonies or ordinary life before the land took it back.
Situated on the SE-facing slope of a drumlin. This is depicted as an embanked circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) described as a 'fort' in gothic lettering on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a curve in a field bank E-SW on the 1907 edition. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture. 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: 29 August 2017
