What is recorded here

Indicated is a grass-covered ringfort in County Monaghan where a Presbyterian church now overlays its eastern edge. The fort sits inside a rectangular cemetery, embedding human death and worship within an older circular boundary. Its slight bank has worn into a scarp, yet the shape still marks a place where people lived, buried their dead, and built faith across centuries.
Situated in a low-lying landscape between drumlins and on the S side of the N54 Clones to Monaghan town road. This is a circular grass-covered earthen platform (diam. c. 45-50m) delineated by a slight bank which has been largely reduced to a scarp. It is within a subrectangular cemetery (dims c. 90m N-S; c. 65m E-W) and a Presbyterian church is overlying the perimeter of the rath at E.
