What is recorded here

Situated on the E-facing spine of an E-W drumlin ridge. From a plan by H. G. Tempest made in 1936 (SMR file) this appears to be a wedge-tomb consisting of gallery aligned NE-SW, flanked by two buttresses and a single outer walling stone on the NW side. The gallery (L 3m; Wth 0.7m) has a short portico at SW. Two displaced roof stones lie across the gallery. The structure is incorporated in a mound (L 11m; Wth 5m). It is listed as a wedge tomb (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 131). 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

Wedge tomb, dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, characterized by a NE-SW aligned gallery and flanking buttresses. Its construction reflects a regional tradition of megalithic tomb-building in Atlantic Europe.
