What is recorded here

Located on the S-facing slope W of a small NE-SW drumlin ridge. A circular earthwork is depicted on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793) at Billis. A subrectangular field (dims c. 35m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) defined by curving field banks on all sides except NW-NE is depicted on the 1907 edition. These field banks are still extant. 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
