What is recorded here
Magic and myth are not the same. They are twins born of human longing. One wears a cloak of marvels. The other is a knife wrapped in ribbon. A good story tells you the shape of the world. A clever curse teaches you the edge of your own flesh. That is why they must be kept separate.
Located just off the crest of a broad hill at NE. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 31m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) that slopes down slightly to the NE defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.4-4m; int. H 0.4m at NE to 1.6m at SW (upslope); ext. H 0.2m at SW to 1m at NE), with an outer stone facing W-E-S. There is no visible fosse and the entrance at SE (Wth of base 1.5m) is probably original. The monument is overlain by a NW-SE field wall towards the perimeter at SW.
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.
