Recorded monuments

• MO009-026 Designed landscape - tree-ring
  Description

  Situated at the S end of a small N-S ridge, on the E-facing slope. It is in a loop of the SW-NE Blackwater River that curves around it from SW (c. 70m distant)-E-NE (c. 140m distant). This southern end of the townland probably was an island at one time with the river taking the direct route NW of the monument. A large oval wood is depicted as on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and it had become a field by the 1907 edition. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims c. 95m NE-SW; c. 70m NW-SE) defined by a field bank and hedge. It was probably a landscape feature created by the Bessmount estate, and Bessmount House is c. 700m to the SSE on the other side of the river. It is matched by the enclosure at Lisnanore (MO009-029----) c. 700m to the E. Rath (MO009-027----) is c. 50m to the NNW. 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. Date of revision: 13 December 2017

There is an entrance gap at S, and a modern ramp entrance at SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).
