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 Drumgeeny 2 (O’Hara 2012a, 7) and fully resolved (12E0208) subsequently (O’Hara 2012d). A few spreads of broken and burnt stones (dims 0.6m x 0.8m; T 0.08m to 3.5m x 2.5m; T 0.05m) overlay an oval pit (dims 1.9m x 0.8-1.15m; max. D 0.7m) filled with deposits of broken and burnt stone, and a rectangular pit (dims 2m x 1.15m; max. D 0.6m), filled with a silty clay with charcoal flecks, which cut the oval pit. The rectangular pit had probably been plank-lined as a plank was found in its fill and a sample of oak charcoal from its fill produced a C14 date of 3372 +- 30 BP (1746-1538 cal. BC).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
