What is recorded here

Located just off the crest at the SE end of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a subcircular overgrown area (dims c. 29m E-W; 25m N-S) defined by a slight earthen bank (at NNW: Wth of base 3.9m; Wth of top 2m; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 1.2m), with no visible fosse but there is an outer drain NW-E. The bank is largely reduced to an external scarp (at WNW: H 1.5m), and the original entrance is not identified. 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: 19 June 2018
