What is recorded here

Knocknagoran is a hidden fort, not a missing one. O'Hagan's Fort has surrendered most of its shape to grass and forgetting, yet the southern fence still bends around fifty metres of forgotten wall. The earthwork stopped being obvious, not real. It waits for rain, ploughing or patience to reveal the circle again.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Marked as an antiquity on the current OS 6-inch map and known locally as 'O'Hagan's Fort'. No visible surface trace except curve in field fence to S (C c. 50m)
