What is recorded here

Located at the crest of the W-facing summit of Dromore Hill. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 43m) defined by an earthen bank separated by a fosse from an outer earthen bank. It had been utilised as a tree-ring at one time and in 1968 it had recently been planted with coniferous trees. These had been cut by 1995 and have never been replanted (OSAP). 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
