What is recorded here

Situated at the crest of a W-facing slope. There is a description from 1942 of a low earth and stone mound ’one and a half feet high and 13 feet across (diam. c. 4m; H c. 0.45m)’ with charcoal in the matrix and some boulders on the perimeter at W (SMR file). It appears not to have survived (OSAP) and its precise location is not known. 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
