• MO031-026 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  Located at the crest of the SW-facing slope of a NW-SE spur. It is depicted as an arc of a bank described as a 'fort' in gothic lettering on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a small kidney-shaped wood on the 1907 edition. A steep, wooded and curved (Chord c. 35m N-S) scarp (H 2.2-3.2m) might indicate the W edge of an enclosure, but there is no evidence of any enclosing feature. 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: 28 July 2017
