Recorded monuments

• MO031-087 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located just off the crest of the SE-facing slope of a drumlin. It was described in 1968 as a circular overgrown area (diam. 35m E-W; 34m N-S) that sloped down to the S. It was defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 4.6m; Wth of top 2m; int. H 1.45m; ext. H 0.3m) W-N-E that was reduced to a scarp (at SW: Wth 2.5m; H 2m) elsewhere. There was no visible fosse but there was an entrance (Wth of base 1.7m) at E. It had been removed by 1984 but slight traces of the perimeter were visible E-SW. 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: 31 July 2017

• MO031-113 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a level area in an undulating landscape. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP: BDQ 58) from the 1970s. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture. The cropmark can also be seen on the OSI aerial images (1995). Archaeological testing (11E0414) by Kieran Campbell exposed part of the enclosing ditch (Wth of top 1.6-1.8m) at N and S (dim 72m NNW-SSE; c. 52m E-W) while the perimeter was an earthen bank (Wth c. 3.5m) with an internal stone-facing and a slight outer ditch (Wth of top 1.7m; D 0.15m) at E. See excavations.ie (2011: 504). (Campbell 2012) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 31 July 2017 Amended: 17 January 2020
