Situated in a relatively low-lying position in an undulating landscape with drumlins. Archaeological testing (12E0068) in advance of an improvement of the N2 Monaghan to Emyvale road identified a burnt mound which was designated Drumcaw 1 (O’Hara 2012a, 6) and fully resolved (12E0220) subsequently (O’Hara 2012b). It appeared as a single spread of burnt stone in a charcoal enriched clay matrix (diam. 6.3m E-W; 6m N-S; max. T 0.22m) which overlay the subsoil where there were three pronounced hollows (dims 3m x 1.4m; D 0.15m: 2.3m X 0.9m; D 0.15M; 2.6M X 1.1M; d 0.18m), A sample of alder charcoal from the most easterly pit which was cut by a N-S drain produced a C14 date of 3888 +- 30 BP (2470-2288 cal. BC). (O’Hara 2012b, 4, 24-4) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 21 January 2020 O’Hara, R. 2012a N2 Monaghan to Emyvale Road Improvement Scheme. Stage 1, Stage 2. Licence No. 12E0068.
