Recorded monuments
- MO013-031 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
Description
Located just S of the summit of a drumlin with rock outcrop. It is depicted as being in a field bank and described as a ‘Standing Stone’ in gothic lettering only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was described in 1968 as large stone (dims 3.9m x 2m; H 1.1m) incorporated in a field bank with a smaller erratic (dims 1.9m x 1.4m; H 0.7m) nearby to the E. This field bank had been removed by 1995 (OSAP). 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 23 February 2018
- MO013-032 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
Description
Situated on a hilltop. A gallery (L 4.8m; average Wth 0.8m) consisting of a short portico at the W end and a longer main chamber is incorporated in a mound (L 18m; Wth 12m). Outer walling is represented at SE and along the NW of the gallery. Two stones to the N of the outer walling and a single stone to the E of the gallery are probably kerb stones. There is a large stone c. 6m S of the gallery and inside the line of mound, but its function is unclear.
