What is recorded here

Located at the N end of the summit of a N-S drumlin ridge. This was described in 1968 as a circular overgrown area (diam. c. 35m) defined by an earthen bank (at SE: Wth of base 4.5m; Wth of top 1.3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.9m) with a complete outer fosse (at SE: Wth of top 2.3m; ext. D 0.9m). The entrance (Wth of base 2.8m) and causeway (Wth of top 1.8m) were at SE. The scrub had been removed by 1984 and the monument reduced to a low grass-covered mound, but its outline could still be traced. (McDermott 2010, 399-400) 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: 29 August 2017
