Recorded monuments

• MO012-019 Moated site
  Description

  Situated on top of a drumlin overlooking a N-S section of the River Finn which is c. 70m to the W, and c. 300m N of where a NE-SW branch joins the main stream. This is a rectangular grass-covered area (max. dims 45.6m NE-SW; 27.4m NW-SE at SW to 35.4m NW-SE at NE) that slopes down to the SE, which is defined by broad and low earthen banks on each side with outer fosses (Wth of top 3.5-4m; int. D 2-2.4m; ext. D 1-1.5m) and external banks or field banks. There is an entrance though the inner (Wth of base 3.7m) and outer (Wth of base 4m) banks and a causeway (Wth of top 3m; H 0.5m) across the fosse at NE, but the defences at SE have been levelled into the fosse. There is a broad grass-covered hollow (diam. c. 14m) at the centre that is probably an old quarry. 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: 29 January 2018
