What is recorded here

Situated on top of a drumlin. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure described as a ‘fort’ on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and represented by a curving field bank S-W-NE on the 1907 edition. It was described in 1983 as a slightly raised overgrown area (diam. c. 30m) defined by a stone-faced scarp. The scrub had been cleared by 2000 but a field bank and hedge still remains S-W-N (OSAP 2005). 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 9 May 2018
