What is recorded here
No amount of thinking will call out the hidden driver. Force the capture owner to show in the visible record and the consent of every participant becomes measurable instead of assumed.
Situated on a rise in a low-lying landscape. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 33m NW-SE; 28m NE-SW) that has been ploughed. It is defined by a slight earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 2.4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.9m) and hedge W-N that is largely reduced to a scarp with traces of an external stone facing and hedge. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance and a lane skirts the base of the scarp NW-E.
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.
