Situated on a local rise. The School’s Manuscripts collection lists a fort at Killybressal, for which see this web-page accessed on 23/06/2017: http://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4742068/4732323 It is known locally that a ringfort was destroyed c. 1900 in the ‘fort field’, which is still pointed out at Killybressal, but no archaeological feature is visible at ground level, and the precise location is not known.
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.

According to local information (Irish Folklore Commission Schools' Manuscripts 959 377), ringfort stood here formerly.
This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
