Located on a level landscape. This fort at Coolderry is marked on McCrea’s map of Co. Monaghan (1793). It is depicted as an embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and as a small D-shaped feature (dims c. 25m NE-SW; c. 10m NW-SE) backing onto a NE-SW road at SE on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was probably a ringfort, but no archaeological feature is visible at ground level now and it is known locally to have been the site of a mass-rock (Ó Gallachair 1957, 119).
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.
