What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular grass ring in County Monaghan, defined by a one-metre earthen bank and a perimeter of trees on a drumlin ridge. It appeared on maps as a planted enclosure before becoming a quiet grass disc, suggesting people valued its shape enough to mark and preserve it. The absence of a visible entrance or fosse keeps the purpose uncertain, but the steady circular form implies a place set apart for ritual, residence or memory.

Situated just off the crest of the N-facing slope of a NNW-SSE summit on a NE-SW drumlin ridge. It is represented as a circular enclosure planted with coniferous trees on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a hachured feature planted with trees on the 1907 edition. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 28.5m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by a slight earthen bank or a scarp (H 1m) with trees planted on the perimeter. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 20 June 2018
