Located at the summit of Fincairn Hill, a NE-SW drumlin ridge. This is traditionally thought to be the burial place of Fin Mac Cool (IFC Schools’ MSS (931) 183-8: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes ). It consists of a kerb of orthostats enclosing a grass-covered stony rise (diam. c. 20m; H c. 1m). The contiguous kerbstones (max. dims c. 1m x c. 0.5m; H 0.1-0.7m) survive on the N side of an ENE-WSW field bank but five displaced stones are on the S side. 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
