What is recorded here

Located on a small rise close to the bottom of an E-facing slope. This is a circular wooded area (diam. 39.5m N-S; 38.5m E-W) with a domed centre defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.7m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 1.25m) separated by a fosse (Wth of top 4.5m; Wth of base 2.4m; ext. D 0.85m) from an outer bank (Wth 1.7m; ext. H 0.3m) at NW, but the outer bank may be recent. The perimeter is reduced to a scarp (at S: H 1.8m) elsewhere, and an 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: 31 July 2017
