What is recorded here

Located on the spine of a fairly low NW-SE ridge. It is depicted as an embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30m) and described as a 'fort' in gothic lettering on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map, but is not shown on later maps. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture. 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: 28 July 2017
