What is recorded here
Situated on top of a drumlin. A hachured mound (MO011-003002-) is depicted as within an enclosure (diam. c. 40m) only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and both are depicted as a planation on the 1834 edition. The internal ditch-barrow is extant but there is no evidence now of an outer enclosure, although it was recorded in 1948 (OSFM) as a circular area (diam. c. 40m N-S) defined by a scarp (H c. 1m) NW-E-SW that melded into the slope elsewhere.
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.
