Marked on the 1835 'OS 6-inch' map as 'fort'. Levelled during landscaping activity associated with the construction of Fort Hill House (CLAJ 2, 1908, 36). Partially excavated (c. 50%) as part of the Dundalk Western Bypass Project (Excavation Licence 02E1326). The first phase of construction dated to the early 13th-14th century when the hilltop was fortified and took the form of an inner fortified area of an ellipse (40m N-S; 23m E-W) with a V-shaped ditch (max. D 1.37m) protecting the W half. The second stage consisted of the construction of outer defence or bailey which encompasses the inner enclosure and hilltop. A series of pits and postholes were uncovered in the interior. Finds included a polished stone axe from the topsoil, medieval and post-medieval pottery, crucible sherds and a blue bead. A pit (LH004-144----) dating to the Neolithic was discovered to the SW and possible Iron Age round house (LH004-145----) was discovered on the summit of the hill. A single inhumation (LH004-146----) of a pre-teen female, orientated N-S and dating to the 16th/17th century was also recorded. (Bayley 2004, 373; Bayley 2010).

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
