Located on the summit of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This was described in 1968 as an oval grass-covered area (dims 35m NNW-SSE; 26.5m ENE-WSW) defined by an earthen bank (at NE: Wth of base 4.5m; Wth of top 1.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.6m) with an outer stone facing that was planted with trees, and an outer drain S-NNW. There was no visible fosse and the original entrance (Wth of base 2.5m) was at SE. The bank had been removed NNW-SE and it had been incorporated into a field bank and hedge elsewhere by 2000 (OSAP). 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 27 February 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.
