Located on a S-facing slope. This is depicted as a large circular enclosure on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 101m N-S; 91m E-W) defined by a small bank or a scarp and hedge (at S: H 1.8m), with an outer drain. Some buildings impinge on the perimeter at SE. Three cross-inscribed stones have been found in this field which is known locally as the ‘Graveyard Field’ and human bones were recovered from it during 1953 (NMI file). The holy well (MO021-012001-) is c. 100m to the SE.
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.
