A rectangular plank-laid floor (dims c. 5.6 x 5.35m) with a central hearth that was approached by a plank-laid pathway (L c. 3.5m) from the E was uncovered in 1867 during turf cutting at Cargaghoge. Ashes, nutshells, small worked flints and some crude pottery were also found. The original find spot is not known. (Morant 1868-9, 269)
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.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
