What is recorded here

Located at the crest of the E-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a circular overgrown area (diam. 43m N-S) sloping down slightly to the SE. It is defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at NW: Wth 5.2m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.2m) SW-N-NNE and by a scarp (at SE: H 1.75m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse and there is an entrance (Wth 1.4m) at NW. 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: 27 July 2017
