Recorded monuments
- MO027-096 Earthwork
Description
Located at the NW end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. A small subrectangular field (dims c. 20m N-S; c. 15m E-W) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in improved pasture, and the nature of the monument is not clear, although it may have been a ringfort. 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: 1 February 2018

Description
Situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a D-shaped grass and scrub-covered area (dims c. 28m NE-SW; 13m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (at NW: Wth of base 4.6m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.7m) SW-NW-NE, and an outer fosse (at NW: Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.3m) S-NW. A NE-SW field bank and townland boundary with Lisdrumturk to the SE bisects the monument and the perimeter is barely traceable SE of this feature. There is an old quarry inside the bank at NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).
