What is recorded here

Situated on the summit of a NW-SE spur. This is a D-shaped and domed (H 2m at NE; 4m at SW) grass-covered area (dims 52m NE-SW; 47m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (at NE: Wth 3.4m; H 2.1m; at NW: Wth 1m; H 1.2m) with some bushes. There is no visible fosse or entrance, but the perimeter is slightly truncated by a NNE-SSW field bank at NW (L c. 30m), and an NW-SE field bank bisects the interior. 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: 30 January 2018
