What is recorded here
Located on the spine of a N-S drumlin ridge with higher parts of the ridge to the S. This was described in 1968 as a raised oval grass-covered area (dims 32.6m NE-SW; 27m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank, which was reduced to a scarp (at E: Wth 2.3m; H 0.8m) almost everywhere, and a complete outer fosse (at WNW: Wth of top 3.7m; D 0.4m). There was an outer field bank SE-SW, but the original entrance was not recognised. It had been largely removed by 2005 (OSAP).
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.
