What is recorded here

Located at the crest of a N-facing slope and on the N side of an E-W field bank. This is a rectangular block (Wth 0.75m; H 1m; T 0.2-0,3m) with a flat top that slopes down slightly to the E. It is known locally as a mass-rock, and was recorded in the School’s manuscripts of the Folklore Commission (see this web-page accessed on 12/08/2016: http://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/5162164/5160483) although there are no tales relating to it. (Ó Gallachair 1957, 113) 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 12 August 2016
