Located on a shoulder towards the bottom of a N-facing slope. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 50m) is depicted only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. This is a slightly raised but uneven, circular and grass-covered area (diam. c. 23-25m) is defined by scarp (max. H 0.7m). 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: 9 May 2018 - MO024-027: Megalithic tomb - court tomb, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO024-027----. Located just off the crest of a S-facing slope. A roughly trapezoidal grass-covered mound (L 31m; Wth 11.5m) with some scrub is aligned NE-SW. A series of displaced flags at the NE end may represent the shallow court. Behind these are two subsidiary chambers opening to the NW and another opening to the SE. There are a number of set stones which appear to represent other chambers further SW, although no main gallery is evident. The surviving chambers are comparable to court-tomb subsidiary chambers. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).
