What is recorded here

Located on top of a drumlin. This is a raised circular grass-covered area (diam. 32m NE-SW) defined by a slight earthen bank (at NE: Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.6m) that is largely reduced to a scarp (at NW: Wth 1m; H 1.55m; at SW: Wth 1.4m; H 1.6m) and hedge. There are slight traces of a fosse that may have been deepened W-NNE. There are four entrance gaps but the original entrance could not be identified. 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: 26 January 2018
