What is recorded here

Situated at the crest of the SE-facing slope of a drumlin. It is depicted as an oval enclosure on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a hachured feature on the 1907 edition. It was described in 1942 as a circular area defined by an earthen bank that had been converted into a stockyard (SMR file). It was recorded in 1947 (OSFM) as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 29-30m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 2-3.5m; H c. 1m). The location of the monument is now occupied by a bungalow. 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 Revised by: Michael Moore
