What is recorded here

Located on the summit of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a circular area (diam. 31m NW-SE; 31m NE-SW) planted with coniferous trees, which is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5.4m-7.7m; int. H 0.5-0.9m; ext. H 2.2-2.8m) that is reduced to a scarp (H c. 4m) NNE-NE, with traces of an external fosse in a berm (Wth 6m) NNW-SE. The modernised entrance (Wth of base 1.8m) with a causeway (Wth of top 1.7m; H 0.7m) is at SE. 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: 25 August 2017
