What is recorded here

Located towards the SE end and towards the summit of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 61m WNW-ESE; 52m NNE-SSW) that slopes down to the SE (H 3.8m). It is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2-4.6m; int. H 0.6-1m; ext. H 1.5-2.8m) and hedge which is incorporated into the bank of a lane WNW-NW, with an outer fosse or drain (at ESE: Wth 3.2m; ext. D 0.8m) ESE-SSW. The original entrance is not identified. 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. Date of revision: 6 December 2017
