What is recorded here

Situated at the N end of a NW-SE ridge on a broad drumlin summit. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) is depicted only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. The bank could be incorporated into a curving field bank SE-SW (Chord c. 30m) but otherwise there is no visible evidence of this monument. 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

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