Recorded monuments

• MO012-072 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on top of a drumlin. This was described in 1968 as a circular grass-covered area (diam. 36m E-W; 34.5m N-S) defined by a grass-covered scarp (at N: Wth 4m; H 1.3m) that was incorporated into a field bank (at SW: Wth 1.7m; H 1.8m) and hedge S-W. There was no visible fosse or entrance. The field bank had been removed by 1995 (OSAP), but the vegetation mark reveals evidence of a fosse with a wide break, perhaps for a causeway at WNW. 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: 29 January 2018
