What is recorded here

Situated at the NW end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 36m NW-SE; 36m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5-6m; int. H 0.4m normally to 0.9m SE-S; ext. H 1.6-1.7m normally to 2.6m at NE) with some bushes, which is incorporated into a field bank SSE-WSW. Traces of an outer fosse are visible ESE-S and W-NNE, but 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
