What is recorded here
Situated on a rise in a fairly low-lying landscape. It is described only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map as Killderry – the church of the oak wood. Locally it is thought to be a burial ground for those killed in a battle. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture.
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.
