Description
Situated on a bluff (H c. 8m) on the NE bank of a NW-SE stream, which is c. 20m to the S. It is depicted as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 35m NW-SE; c. 25m NE-SW) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. This is a level grass-covered area (diam. c. 26m NNW-SSE) defined by a slight scarp NW-NE, which fades out NE-SE where it meets the steep overgrown slope down to the stream. The perimeter is formed here by a scarp (H 3.2m) with a berm (Wth 3.2m) at the base SE-W. 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: 25 July 2017
