Wakeman (1875, 328) recorded a local tradition of an underground passage or possible souterrain at the motte and bailey (MO011-008001-) and there are folk references to one recorded in the schools manuscripts (IFC, School's MSS 946, 248-9; 947, 104; 956, 286-7: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes), but no physical evidence of one has ever been encountered.
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.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
