• MO018-026 Hilltop enclosure
  Description

  Situated just E of the summit of an E-W drumlin ridge. This is a large circular grass-covered area (diam. 97m E-W; 93m N-S) that is domed N-S across the ridge. It is defined by an earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 4.5m; Wth of top 1.5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2.5m) and hedge SW-NW and SE-S but it is largely reduced to a scarp and hedge, and an outer, rounded fosse (at W: Wth of top 3.5m; Wth of base 1.5m; ext. D 1.6m). There is an external field bank SW-N-ENE that replaces the fosse ENE-SSE and a farm lane runs in the fosse SSE-SW. There are many gaps in the perimeter but the original entrance might be the modernised entrance 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: 18 June 2018
