What is recorded here

Located in a low-lying landscape on a fairly steep SW-facing slope. A small feature is represented only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as ‘Shaunroe’. This was described in 1968 as a low square cairn (dims 12m x c. 12m) with no structural stones visible that was completely overgrown. The cairn had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). The megalithic tomb (MO013-021----) is c. 150m to the 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 23 February 2018
