What is recorded here

Located at the NW end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. A small subrectangular field (dims c. 20m N-S; c. 15m E-W) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in improved pasture, and the nature of the monument is not clear, although it may have been a ringfort. 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: 1 February 2018

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
