What is recorded here

Corcreeghagh holds a circular earthen ring on a drumlin ridge, its grassy interior wide enough for a dozen people to walk beside one another. The bank rises two metres outside but dips inside, suggesting a place designed to be seen rather than easily entered. Stone traces still cling at the north and south edges, waiting for someone to remember why they were set there.

Located on top of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a raised circular grass-covered area (diam. 27.8m E-W; 25.2m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at NNW: Wth of base 3m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 2.15m) and hedge, with traces of an outer stone cladding at N and S. There is no visible fosse, although there is an outer field bank at the base of the scarp S-W, and the original entrance is not identified. The interior is overlain by the remains of a relict NW-SE field bank NE of the centre. 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: 24 August 2017
