What is recorded here

Located at the crest of the NE-facing slope of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This was described in 1967 as a D-shaped grass and furze-covered area (dims 19.2m N-S; c. 19m E-W) defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank (at E: Wth 1.6m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.1m). There was no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. The perimeter is cut by an E-W field bank and townland boundary with Ouvry at S (L c. 17m) and it did not survive S of this feature. Much of it N of the townland boundary had been removed by 2000 (OSAP). 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
