Stranoodan fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Situated just off the E end of a WNW-ESE ridge. This is a raised, circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 31m NNE-SSW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at WSW: Wth of base 2.7m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 2.4m) and hedge, with an external fosse SW-N-E that has a field bank outside it WNW-N. This probably incorporates the remains of an outer bank which is visible W-WNW. The entrance (Wth of base 1.2m) and causeway (Wth of top 2.5m; H 0.35m) are at ESE. The interior is bisected by a N-S field bank. Rath (MO013-037----) is c. 190m to the SE. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 23 February 2018
