What is recorded here

Mound in Tully, known locally as Tully Fort, is a flat-topped earthen structure on high ground in County Monaghan, Ireland. Its broad base and gentle southern slope suggest a place built for watching rather than hiding, perhaps a residence or marker where people stood above the surrounding land. The faint northern bank and steep edge preserve the shape of human labour, even if the names of its makers have faded.

Situated on high ground with excellent views in all directions. A flat topped mound of earth (top: 15m N-S; 16m E-W; base: 28m N-S; 27m E-W; max H c. 1.5m). Defined by a gradual slope on the S-SW side and by a steeper slope on the N-NE side. Possible faint traces of an external bank on the NE side. Known locally as 'Tully Fort'.
