Description
Situated at the E end of an ENE-WSW drumlin ridge. This rath is depicted as a fragment of an earthen bank NE-S-SW on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and an arc of hachures E-SW on the 1907 edition, although the line of the perimeter is continued by a field bank SW-NW on the latter. The perimeter survives E-SW (Chord 36m) as an outer scarp (H 1.7m) and hedge, with an outer fosse SE-S. 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: 9 May 2018
