Description
Situated on the spine of and on the SE-facing slope of a NW-SE spur. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 43m NNE-SSW; 40m WNW-ESE) with relict cultivation ridges defined by a an overgrown earthen bank (at WNW: Wth of base 6m; Wth of top 1m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.5m) with traces of an outer stone-facing separated by a rounded fosse (at WNW: Wth of top 5.8m; ext. D 1.6m) from a slight outer bank (at WNW: Wth 5m; ext. H 0.3m). These features only survive SSW-NW, but the inner bank is evident by a slight scarp elsewhere (at ESE: Wth c. 10m; H 0.8m). Gaps in the inner bank at NW (Wth 1.7m) and NNW (1.5m) are probably modern. 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 June 2017
