What is recorded here

Magic and life both leave marks on the land. Some places still feel like they are waiting for attention, not for belief. They show up in dreams, memory and the shape of what can be imagined together.

Situated towards the top of the E-facing slope of drumlin overlooking Tonyscallan or Dernaglug Lough to the SE. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area sloping down to the SE which is defined by a large earthen bank (at NNE: Wth of base 4.4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 2.6m) and an outer fosse that has probably been re-cut W-N, but the perimeter is largely reduced to a scarp, stone-faced in places, elsewhere. There is an entrance (Wth of base 2.2m) at WNW. A depression (L 16m; Wth 3.4m; D 1.3m) inside the bank at SW is probably a quarry with spoil on its inner edge. 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: 22 June 2018
