Located at the S summit of a N-S drumlin ridge. It is not recorded on any map but is mentioned in the Schools’ Manuscripts (IFC, Schools’ Mss (953) 375: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes ). This is a cairn (L 23m; Wth 11m) orientated NE-SW, incorporating at the NE end the fairly full remains of a three-quarter court (Wth 5.5m NW-SE; D 6m NE-SW). Single façade stones (H 1.1m) survive at either side of the court. A NNE-SSW field boundary crosses the cairn and partly defines the NW extent of the court. The gallery (L 7.2m; Wth 1.5m) narrows from the front to the rear and is divided into three chambers by two sets of jambs.
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.
