Recorded monuments

• MO014-034 Crannog
  Description

  Situated now c. 70m from the SE shore of Tassan Lough, originally a sub-triangular lake (max. dims c. 250m N-S; c. 180m E-W) between drumlins. It is depicted as an island in the lake only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a cairn (diam. 18m; H 0.4m) supporting trees. No structural features are evident but charcoal and stone are contained in the matrix. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 26 February 2018

• MO014-036 Church
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise with rock outcrop in an undulating landscape. A small rectangular structure (int. dims 6.3m E-W; 5m N-S) with a doorway (Wth 1.35m) at W is defined by a double-faced stone walls (Wth 0.8m; max. H 0.6m) and is known locally to have been a Mass-station. It is probably the Tassan mass-rock (Ó Gallachair 1957, 114). 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 26 February 2018

• MO014-037 Megalithic tomb - court tomb
  Description

  Situated towards the SE end of a small NW-SE ridge in a grass-covered area with some rock outcrop and trees. It is depicted as a circular feature described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’ on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a small copse on the 1907 edition. The monument consists of seven separate chambers in an area (dims c. 30m NW-SE; c. 12m NE-SW). There are two pairs of back-to-back chambers at the SE end, two chambers opening to the SW and two to the NE. A NNW-SSE farm laneway separates these from three chambers to the NW. Immediately to the W of the laneway, a chamber opens to the SW. Behind it are three upright slabs and one fallen. Two chambers at the NW end have opposed entrances facing each other, 2.8m apart. The seven chambers are clearly comparable to the subsidiary chambers found in court-tombs and hence the monument is assigned to this class, although there is no evidence of a court at either end. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 26 February 2018
