• MO004-003 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located just off the crest of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. A circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of OS 6-inch map as defined by a field bank but it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. Traces of a ploughed out bank are visible at the N edge in pasture. Rath (MO007-002----) is c. 170m to the SSW. 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: 25 July 2017

• MO007-002 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located at the S tip of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. 33.5m NNE-SSW) that slopes down to the S, which is defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 5.5m; Wth of top 1.6m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 2.2m) WSW-NE and a scarp (at S: H 2.3m) elsewhere. There is an outer fosse that has been re-cut as a water-logged drain (at W: Wth of top 2.5m; Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.7m) SE-W-NW. There are several gaps in the bank but that at E (Wth c. 4.6m) is probably 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: 30 August 2017
