Recorded monuments
- MO025-003 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated at the crest of the NE-facing slope of a small NW-SE drumlin ridge. This rath is depicted on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793) and on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 33.5m N-S; 31.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 4.4m; Wth of top 1.7m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1m) with some deciduous trees and the stumps of others. The only entrance (Wth 3m) at SSE is closed, and there are faint traces of an external fosse at NE, ESE and SW. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 27 February 2018
