What is recorded here
In the heart of the story the hidden chamber appears. The chamber contains the completed action and the visible result. This is the place where the request stops being a passive dream. The woman must leave the chamber with the completed action and share the result. This is the birth of a new life.
: Located on a rise at the SW end of a NE-SW ridge. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 38m WNW-ESE; 36m NNE-SSW) defined by a scarp (at SSE: H 1.45m) that is planted with trees except N-SSE. The scarp has been steepened into an almost vertical face with a modern field bank at the base SSE-W-N. There is a slight ramp entrance at E, which might be the original entrance.
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.
