What is recorded here

Situated at the S end of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (dims 36.8m NW-SE; 30.6m NE-SW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth c. 4m; int. H c. 1m; ext. H 1.5m) NW-NE, which is reduced to scarp (at E: Wth 1.5m; H 1.5m) elsewhere. The original entrance is at SSE. 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: 30 August 2017
