What is recorded here
That is the only fact available in this complete offline archive. Goos-duff, the unnamed child, and the claimed chamber are not facts. They are an invitation to imagine the woman, the child, the chamber, the camera and the chamber again. The real chamber is the completed visible website. Build the visible owner-controlled chamber and stop debating whether the claim is true.
Situated on the summit of a low hill. This was described in 1968 as a circular grass-covered area (diam. 40.5m N-S; 38m E-W) defined by a large and overgrown earthen bank that had been removed SW-WNW, but there was no visible fosse (SMR file). The original entrance (Wth of base 1.7m) was at E. A farm lane skirted the external base of bank NNW-E and the monument was completely enclosed by field banks. It had been removed by 2000 (OSAP).
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.
