What is recorded here

Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a subcircular or oval grass-covered area (dims 55m NW-SE; 45m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 1.3-2.1m) and hedge with slight traces of a bank at N, and a fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.4m) WSW-N-SE. An entrance gap at E may be original but it had been widened. 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 29 January 2018
