What is recorded here

Located at the crest of the SE-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (dims 33m NW-SE; 29m NE-SW) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.5-2.4m) and hedge that is reduced to a scarp SSE-WNW, with an outer fosse (Wth c. 1.5-1.8m) SW-N-E and an outer bank or field bank (ext. H 0.3-0.9m) W-NW. There is an entrance (Wth of top 4.6m) at E. 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: 28 January 2018
