Located at the summit of and at the W end of an E-W drumlin ridge. This is a circular overgrown and slightly domed area (diam. 32.5m NW-SE; 30m NE-SW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank separated by a fosse from an outer bank. The entrance through the inner bank (Wth of base 3.5m) and a causeway (Wth 4m) are at SSE. A depression (dims 7.5m E-W; 3.3m N-S; D 0.9m) inside a break in the inner bank at W could be a collapsed souterrain, although no stone is visible. A farm lane runs in the fosse and the outer bank is removed NW-NE. 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: 19 June 2018

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.
