What is recorded here

Located on the SE-facing slope of a small NE-SW drumlin ridge. This feature is depicted as a small oval copse (dims c. 35m NW-SE; c. 25m NE-SW) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a small D-shaped field on the 1907 edition. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 25m E-W; 20m N-S) that slopes down to the E defined by a scarp (at S: Wth 1.6m; H 0.9m) and hedge. There was evidence of a fosse (Wth of top 2.4m; D 0.2m) at N in 1942 (SMR file), but 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: 29 January 2018
