What is recorded here

Located at the tip of a SE-NW spur. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 50m NW-SE; 48.5m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (at SW: Wth 2.1m; H 1.3m; At E: Wth 1.8m; H 1.45m) and hedge with traces of a bank (Wth of base 2.4m; int. H 0.1m) at E. There is an outer fosse (at E: Wth 2.7m; D 0.1m) which is surrounded by a stone wall that rises to the top of the scarp at W. The original entrance is not identified. 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
