What is recorded here

Monascreebe holds a broken earth and stone arc stretching from north-west to south-east, possibly the remains of a ringfort. It is not a complete circle, but the curve suggests a boundary drawn in soil rather than written in stone. Whoever built it may have marked a home, a warning or a claim before leaving no name behind. The ground still repeats that shape, waiting for someone to imagine the life it enclosed.

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 Earth and stone bank extending in an arc from NNW-N-E-SE, possibly the remains of a ringfort.
