Indicated

Situated on a low NW-SE ridge with Laurel Lough c. 100m to the NE at the nearest point. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 56m E-W; 55.5m N-S) defined by a slight earthen bank and hedge that is largely reduced to an external scarp (H c. 1.5-1.7m) with an outer fosse (Wth c. 2.7-3m; D 0.3-0.6m). There is an entrance gap at NE but an entrance (Wth of base 2.4m) and outer causeway (Wth of top 3m; H 0.4m) at NW could be original. Archaeological testing (17E0510) c. 70m to the NW at the closest point produced no related material. (Byrne 2017) 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 upload/revision: 21 June 2018 Amended: 29 January 2020
