What is recorded here

Located on top of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a raised circular grass-covered area (diam. 27.8m E-W; 25.2m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at NNW: Wth of base 3m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 2.15m) and hedge, with traces of an outer stone cladding at N and S. There is no visible fosse, although there is an outer field bank at the base of the scarp S-W, and the original entrance is not identified. The interior is overlain by the remains of a relict NW-SE field bank NE of the centre. 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: 24 August 2017
