What is recorded here

Situated at the summit of and at the centre of a NW-SE drumlin ridge, and it overlooks the S end of Lough Muckno. This is an oval grass and fern-covered area (dims 36m NW-SE; 27m NE-SW) defined by a grass and scrub-covered earthen bank (at E: Wth of base 3.7m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 1.9m) with traces of an outer stone facing. There are traces of an outer fosse SE-S, at WSW and WNW, but 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 27 February 2018
