What is recorded here

Situated on top of a drumlin. This is a D-shaped grass and scrub-covered area (dims c. 35m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) defined by a slight bank (at N: Wth of top 1.2m; ext. H 0.9m) separated by a berm (at N: Wth 3.7m) from a second slight bank (at N: Wth of top 1.6m; ext. H 1.2m), outside of which is a second berm (at N: Wth 3.3m) defined by a scarp (H 2m). These features survive in arcs W-N-E but the interior is truncated by a NE-SW field bank at SE and by a NW-SW field bank at SW. 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: 9 May 2018
