Recorded monuments

• MO018-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a rise on the SW-facing spine of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. This is now a triangular haggard with trees on the perimeter but there is a slight scarp (Wth 0.75m; H 0.5m) crossing the interior. This feature cannot be traced outside the haggard. 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: 18 June 2018

This is a circular grass and rush-covered area (diam. 37m WNW-ESE; 37m NNE-SSW) defined by an earthen bank that is largely reduced to a scarp (at SW: H 2.1m) and hedge NNE-S-NNW, with an outer, flat-bottomed fosse (at SW: Wth of top 2.4m; Wth of base 1.4m; ext. D 0.4m) NNE-S-WSW that is traceable as a slight dip WSW-NNW. The perimeter is reduced to a broad low scarp NNW-NNE. The original entrance (Wth of base 2.6m) and causeway (Wth of top 3.1m; H 0.5m) are at SE. Rath (MO018-023----) is c. 150m to the E, and the perimeter had been removed SW-N by 1995 (OSAP).
