What is recorded here
Located on a rise on a NE-facing slope, with the headwaters of a small SE-NW stream c. 50m to the SW. It is depicted only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped enclosure defined by field walls. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 28.5m N-S; 22.5m E-W) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth c. 4m; int. H c. 0.2m; ext. H 1.2-1.5m) but no facing stones are identified. The original entrance is not recognised, but the perimeter is slightly clipped by a NW-SE field wall 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.
