Description
Located on top of a drumlin. It is depicted on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map and is described as ‘Crow fort’ in gothic lettering on the latter. This is a circular area (diam. 24m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by a scarp (at E: Wth 1m; H 0.8m; at W: H 1.2m). There is no visible fosse or entrance, but the base of the scarp is surrounded by a collapsed field wall SW-NW. It was adapted as a tree-ring and the perimeter is planted with deciduous trees. 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 4 May 2018
