Recorded monuments

• MO008-020 Burial ground
  Description

  Located on a rise in a level, low-lying landscape. A small circular feature is depicted on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in italic lettering as ‘Grave Yard’. It is reputed to have been a Quaker burial ground (D’arcy 1897, 209), that was limited to members of the Whitside family (OSNB, 2, 157). This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 18m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 2.1m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m) supporting mature deciduous trees. There is evidence of at least two graves in the interior and the enclosure has an entrance gate with masonry piers at E. 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. D’Arcy, Dr. S. A. 1897 A crannoge near Clones.
