Located on the summit of a drumlin. A circular earthwork is depicted on an estate map of the Barony of Cremorne by Brownrigg and Longfield (1790) in NLI (21. F. 27). No archaeological features are visible on aerial image (OSAP, 1995 and 2000, 2005; Bing c. 2013). 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.

Situated towards the bottom of an E-facing slope in a low-lying landscape between drumlins. An archaeological excavation (05E0783) carried out as part of the N2 Castleblayney to Clontibret road realignment scheme at a site known as Grig 2 uncovered the remains of three possible cooking troughs. The pits were shallow but they contained concentrations of burnt material. A sample of charcoal from one (dims 1.5m x 1.5m; D 0.3m) of the two closely placed pits produced a C14 date of 1130+- 30 BP, which provides a calibrated date of AD 780-990. A sample from another pit (MO019-049001-), located c. 15m to the NW, produced a date in the Early Bronze Age. It is probable that two fulachta fia, widely separated in time, are involved, each being paired with a trough of the same time period from the two fulachta fia (MO019-050----; MO019-050001-) that are located c. 130m to the S. (Halpin B. 2008; 2010, 6, 11, XII).

The pits were shallow and contained concentrations of burnt material. A charcoal sample from the largest pit (dims 2.6m x 2.4m D 0.3m) produced a C14 date of 3755+-30 BP, which calibrates to 2290-2030 BC. Another trough (MO019-049----), located c. 15m to the SE produced a date in the first millennium AD. It is probable that two fulachta fia, widely separated in time, are involved, each being paired with a trough of the same time period from the two fulachta fia (MO019-050----; MO019-050001-) located c. 130m to the S.

Situated in a hollow between drumlins. An archaeological excavation (05E0784) carried out as part of the N2 Castleblayney-Clontibret road realignment scheme at a site known as Grig 1 uncovered a rectangular trough (dims 1.5m x 1.25m; D 0.45m) and a sub-circular (dims 1.5m x 1.25m; D 0.25m) trough placed c. 10m apart, the former beneath a small spread of burnt mound material, the latter under a larger spread (dims 6.4m x 5.8m; T 0.2m). A fragment of charcoal from the subcircular trough produces a C14 date of 1000+-30 BP that calibrates to AD 980-1160. A sample from the other trough (MO019-050001-), located c. 10m to the SE produced a date in the Late Bronze Age. It is probable that two fulachta fia, widely separated in time, are represented here, each being matched by a trough of a similar time period from the two fulachta fia (MO019-049----; MO018-049001-) located c. 130m to the N.

A sample from the rectangular trough produced a C14 date of 2690+-30BP that calibrates to 900-800 BC (Halpin 2010, 6-7). A sample from the other trough (MO019-050----), located c. 10m to the NW produced a date at the end of the first and the start of the second millennium AD.
