What is recorded here

Situated at the summit of a WNW-ESE drumlin ridge. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 35m NW-SE; 34m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank separated by a fosse from an outer bank, which has an outer stone facing SSE-NW. The original entrance through the inner (Wth of base 2.2m) and outer (Wth of base 2.3m) banks and the causeway (Wth of base 2.4m; H 0.45m) are at ESE. There are farm buildings outside the perimeter NW-NE. 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
