What is recorded here

Situated on a N-facing slope. This is an oval grass and scrub-covered area (dims 40m NW-SE; 30m NE-XW) defined by an earthen bank and hedge that is largely reduced to a scarp (at N: H 1.5m) S-N-E and melds into the ground elsewhere. There is no visible fosse and there is a wide entrance (Wth of base 4m) at 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 19 June 2018
