What is recorded here

Located just off the crest of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a circular overgrown area (diam. 35m N-S: 35m E-W) that slopes down to the S and is defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 2.4m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.6m), with an outer fosse that is most visible S-SW and has been deepened into a drain NW-NNE. There are many gaps in the bank but 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: 18 June 2018
