What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope. A subcircular embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 35m E-W; c. 30m N-S) described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’ is depicted at this location on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is an overgrown D-shaped area (dims c. 40m NE-SW; c. 35m NE-SW) backing onto a NE-SW field bank at SE. It is defined by an earth and stone bank with no visible fosse or entrance. 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: 12 December 2017
