What is recorded here

Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of a broad ENE-WSW drumlin ridge. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 33m N-S; 30.3m E-W) defined by traces of an overgrown earthen bank that is removed entirely SW-NNW and largely reduced to an external scarp (at SSE: H 1.6m). There are also slight traces of an outer fosse, and the original entrance is probably that at ESE. 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
