What is recorded here

Located on the spine of the E-facing slope of W-E spur. This is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) and described as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A chord (L 20m) of a curved and overgrown earthen bank (Wth c. 2m; int. H 1.25m; ext. H 1.75m) survived SE-W in 1988 but it had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). 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: 6 December 2017
