Recorded monuments

• MO028-005 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located at the highest point of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. It is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. At that time it was bisected by a NW-SE field bank and another field bank approached the perimeter from the SW. The visible portion NE of the NW-SE field bank had been removed by 1907 and the perimeter W-N had been altered into a straight field bank. However, a portion of the defining earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.8m) and an outer fosse or drain (Wth of top 3.6m; Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.3m) survives SE-S. 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

• MO028-006 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located towards the bottom of a S-facing slope overlooking a shelf on a drumlin. This was described in 1967 as a large grass-covered circular area (diam. 51m N-S; 46m E-W) defined by an earthen bank that only survives at NW (Wth 3.6m; int. H 2m; ext. H 2m) and SE separated by a fosse (at NW: Wth of top 6.2m; Wth of base 2.4m; ext. D 2.6m; at SW: Wth of top 4.3m; Wth of base 2.6m; int. D 2.3m; ext. D 0.7m) from an outer bank (at NW: Wth 4.6m; ext. H 1.2m). The inner and outer banks were incorporated into a farm lane N-E but the original entrance was not identified. By 1995 farm buildings had been built in the N quadrant (OSAP). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).
