Situated in a low-lying landscape in a N-S valley, and at what might have been the S end of Ramages Lough that is now a small oval area of open water c. 250m to the N but its marshy surround indicates an larger oval lake (dims c. 400m N-S; c. 130m E-W). This is a grass-covered mound (diam. c. 18m; H 1m) with some trees in Clonkeen (Cole) townland, although on the W side of s small N-S stream. (Smyth 1954, 7) 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: 26 January 2018 Revised by: Michael Moore - MO011-017: Mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO011-017----. Located at the S end of a silted lake that is depicted as an oval area of open water (dims c. 370m N-S; c. 150m E-W) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map, with a promontory extending into the lake from S end of the E side. The lake is depicted as a larger marshy area (dims c. 450m N-S; c. 150m E-W) on the 1907 edition where the lake is described as Ramages Lough. The lake is now almost completely reclaimed and this feature is where the promontory is depicted on the earlier map. It is a grass-covered oval mound (dims 20.7m WNW-ESE; 9.7m NNE-SSW; max. H 0.6-0.8m) which is wider and higher at either end. There is no evidence of any timber or stone component, and although known locally as a crannog, it could be spoil from drainage.
