What is recorded here

Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a circular grass and rush-covered area (diam. 38.5m N-S; 38m E-W; int. diam. 33m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4.6; int. H 0.8-1m; ext. H 1.5m at S to 3.4m at N), with an external fosse (at S: Wth of top 4.m; at base 1.6m; ext. D 1.1m) that only survives SE-W. The original entrance (Wth at base 1.8m) and causeway (H 0.5m) are 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: 28 June 2017
