What is recorded here

Located on a NW-facing slope. This is a subcircular area (dims 27m NW-SE; 22.5m ENE-WSW) which slopes down to the SW. It is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.8-6m; int. 0.2m at WSW to H 1.4m at ENE; ext. H 1.7-1.8m) that is incorporated into a field bank with an external stone facing NNW-SE-W, and an outer fosse (at NE: Wth of top 10m; Wth of base 5m; D 0.5m) N-E. There is an entrance gap (Wth of base 1.8m) at E, convenient to a nearby farmhouse, but it might be the original entrance. 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: 12 December 2017
