What is recorded here

Indicated is a grass-covered fairy fort on a Monaghan ridge, its twenty-nine-metre circle marked by a faint bank and forgotten entrance. Maps drew it as a curved field boundary, reducing a sacred boundary to a line for cattle. The land resisted that erasure, keeping its shape through centuries of ploughing and doubt.

Located at the summit of a NE-SW ridge. This monument is indicated as a curved field bank N-E-S on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is a slightly raised circular and grass-covered area (diam. 29.5m) defined by a slight earthen bank and traces of an outer fosse. The original entrance is not identified. 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: 30 August 2017
