• MO028-011 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located at the SE end of a fairly low NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (dims 33m WNW-ESE: 28.8m NNE-SSW) defined by an earthen bank (at E: Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.6m), with slight traces of an outer fosse NNE-ESE. The interior is divided by a NNE-SSW field bank a little W of the centre, and an E-W field bank truncates the perimeter slightly at S. A slight dip in the perimeter at WNW may indicate the location of the original entrance. 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: 6 December 2017
