What is recorded here

Carn stood on a Monaghan drumlin until 1967, when men erased what surveyors had marked since 1834. The elliptical mound rose two feet above the grass, holding a shallow central depression that may have gathered rain or memories. Its disappearance proves human hands can delete time itself, leaving only map ink and the faint suggestion that something once broke the sky's line.

Situated on top of a drumlin. It is described as a ‘Carn’ in italic (1834) and gothic (1907) lettering on different editions of the OS 6-inch map. It was described in 1948 as: elliptical in shape from S to E, and c. 2 feet (0.6m) above the ground level with a shallow depression in the centre (OSFM). It had been removed by 1967. 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. Date of revision: 13 December 2017
