What is recorded here

Located at the S-facing crest of one of the summits of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. It is depicted only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped feature defined by field banks. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 42m; N-S; 39m E-W) defined by an earthen bank and hedge (Wth c. 2m; int. H c. 0.6m; ext. H c. 1.2m) with an outer drain (Wth c. 1.2m; D 0.6m) NW-E-SE and by a slight scarp elsewhere. 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: 20 June 2018
