Recorded monuments

• MO031-084 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located at the crest of the N-facing slope of a drumlin. It was described in 1967 (SMR file) as a circular grass-covered area (diam. 37.8m N-S) that sloped down to the N (H 1.4m), which was defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 7.4m; Wth of top 1.8m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 1.2m) and hedge, with traces of a fosse (at SW: Wth of base 1.8m; ext. D 0.45m) S-W. The perimeter was reduced to a scarp (at N: Wth 3.4m; H 1m) NW-NE on the downslope side. There was a modern entrance at SSW, but the original entrance was not identified. The interior was bisected by a NE-SW field bank. The rath had been removed by 1995 (OSI images) but miraculously, the dividing field bank survived. Rath (MO031-085----) is c. 70m to the SE. 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: 31 July 2017
