What is recorded here

Situated on top of a drumlin. This location is marked only on a revision of the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map dated 1858 where it is described as ‘Site of fort’. There are slight traces of a D-shaped rise (H c. 1m) on the E side of a N-S field bank and hedge, but no feature is visible on the W side. A new house had been built just to the E by 2000 (OSAP). The following 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: 26 January 2018
