What is recorded here

Situated on a rise in a broad ENE-WSW valley. It is not depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where this area is depicted as an acre of woodland or scrub, but it is represented as a hachured feature on the 1907 edition. This is an oval, grass-covered and domed area (dims 41.5m NW-SE; 31m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (at S: H 1.8m). There is a tree at the centre and the stumps of others were visible in 1968. 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: 8 May 2018
