What is recorded here

Located on top of a drumlin. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 37m NW-SE; 33m NE-SW) defined by a slight earthen bank or overgrown scarp (H c. 2m) separated by a fosse (Wth of top c. 3.5m) S-W-E from an outer earthen bank incorporated into a field bank S-NW. The original entrance may have been at SE where the defences have been removed E-S, and there is a modern drain outside the outer bank SSW-NW. 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
