What is recorded here

Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of a small N-S ridge that is on the summit of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. A NW-SE section of the Black Pig’s Dyke (MO021-011----) is c. 10m to the NE. This is a circular grass and reed-covered area (diam. 40.7m NW-SE; 39.5m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 1.2-1.5m) and hedge E-S-NW, with an outer fosse evident at NW (Wth of top 3m; Wth of base 2.5m; D 0.3m) but replaced by a drain elsewhere. The perimeter is formed by a NE-SW field bank NW-N, and by a low scarp N-E, on the side close to the linear earthwork. The original entrance is not identified. 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: 20 June 2018
