What is recorded here

Situated just W of the summit of a small drumlin. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 41m NNE-SSW; 40m WNW-ESE) defined by an overgrown earthen bank that is separated by a flat-bottomed fosse and a small berm from an outer bank and an outer fosse. There is an entrance through the inner (Wth of base 2.3m) and outer (Wth of base 2.6m) banks and a causeway (Wth of top 3.6m; H 1m) across the inner fosse at ENE. There are traces of a causeway across the outer fosse at ENE also. 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: 22 June 2018
