What is recorded here
Situated now c. 70m from the SE shore of Tassan Lough, originally a sub-triangular lake (max. dims c. 250m N-S; c. 180m E-W) between drumlins. It is depicted as an island in the lake only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a cairn (diam. 18m; H 0.4m) supporting trees. No structural features are evident but charcoal and stone are contained in the matrix.
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.
