What is recorded here

Situated on a broad drumlin. It is depicted as an embanked enclosure described as a ‘fort’ on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a hachured bank feature surviving S-NW on the 1907 edition of the map. Faint traces of a low grass-covered bank (Wth 5m) are evident S-NW (Chord 29m), but the perimeter cannot be traced elsewhere. 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: 27 July 2017
