Recorded monuments

• MO017-046 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located at the W of two summits on an ENE-WSW drumlin ridge. This rath is depicted as an earthwork on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793) and on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 35.5m; N-S; 33.5m) planted with deciduous trees, which is defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base c. 5m; int. H 0.9m at N; ext. H 2.6-3m) and an external fosse (Wth c. 2.5m; ext. D c. 0.9m) that is almost filled in SSE-SW. There is an entrance (Wth of base 4.9m) at SE. 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 8 May 2018

• MO017-047 Souterrain
  Description

  Located at the bottom of the S-facing slope of an ENE-WSW drumlin ridge. The Irish Folklore Commission Schools MSS (949, 314) noted that a ‘cave’ was discovered during turf cutting operations on the site of Crappagh National School, and the cave might be interpreted as a souterrain.
