What is recorded here

Located on a S-facing slope. The townland name ‘Shankill’ is derived from the Gaelic ‘Sean Cille’ – the old graveyard, and there is a folk tradition (IFC Schools’ MS, vol. 940 39, 61: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes) that there was a church and graveyard at this location, which was destroyed during the Penal period. 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: 31 January 2018

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
