What is recorded here

Located towards the W end of an E-W drumlin ridge. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 45.5m ENE-WSW; 37m NNW-SSE) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at SW: Wth of base 2.9m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.7m) separated by a fosse (at NE: Wth of base 2.2m; ext. D 0.7m) NW-E and ESE-SW from an outer bank (at NE: Wth of base 2.7m; ext. H 1m) that is only visible NNW-E. The original entrance is probably the gap (Wth of base 2.1m) at E. The site of rath (MO025-042----) is c. 50m to the E. 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
