What is recorded here

Mud and memory. Someone shaped that circle before roads or reason, perhaps to keep rain out or perhaps to keep the ordinary world at a distance. The south bank still stands nine metres thick while the north has surrendered to grass, proving that even human making must share itself with time.

Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape between drumlins. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 35m N-S; 32.5m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank NE-S-NW that survives best at S (Wth 9m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 3.6m), but the perimeter is reduced to a grass-covered scarp NW-NE. There is a berm (Wth c. 4m) around the base of the bank or scarp SSE-WNW, and the entrance (Wth of base 2.7m) is at E. 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: 11 December 2017
