What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape. It is depicted as an embanked enclosure described as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a slight scarp. It is bisected by a N-S field bank. It is visible as a cropmark defined by an earthen bank with internal fosse or drain features on the OSI series of aerial photographs (1995). 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
