What is recorded here

Located at the crest of the SE-facing slope of a drumlin. This was described in 1967 as a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 37.4m NW-SE) that sloped down slightly to the SE (H 1.5m), which was defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4-4.4m; int. H 0.4-0.7m; ext. H 1.3-1.7m). There was an outer rounded fosse (at NW: Wth of top 3.4m; D 0.8m) and slight outer field bank W-N-E. The original entrance was not identified. The monument had been removed by 1984, apart from the curved field bank (SMR file). 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
