What is recorded here

Situated on a slight E-W ridge with hollows to the N and S. This is a circular, slightly domed and grass-covered area with some apple trees (diam. 37m E-W; 34m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5-5.6m; int. H 0.4-0.8m; ext. H 1-1.2m), with slight traces of a fosse WSW-NW. The entrance (Wth of base 2m) is at SSE. 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
