What is recorded here

Situated on a S-facing slope. This is a circular grass-covered raised area (diam. 38m WWN-SSE; 36m ENE-WSW) that slopes down to the S (H 2.2m). It is defined by a furze-covered earthen bank NW-E (upslope, at N: Wth 7.4m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 1m), which is reduced almost to a scarp elsewhere (at S: Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 3.8m). There is no visible fosse and 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
